Caffeinated (2015)
Visually nice, not very engaging
30 November 2015
This is a nicely done series of anecdotes, slow-motion close-up shots of coffee or espresso machines, and non sequiturs.
Don't get me wrong, the visuals are compelling, the music is nice and watching this documentary was a pleasant experience. It's just that I'm allergic to opinions stated as fact and fluffy descriptions of tasting experiences. "Caffeinated" is full of such narratives.
The highlight of the piece in my view is the part describing the different kinds of coffee cherries, where they originate from, etc. This is where the most informative content is.
Summing up, it's no life changer but definitely a pleasant experience. Just like a nice cappuccino in the morning.
