The Workshop (2007)
7/10
An innocent form of emotional exploration and experimentation
10 April 2009
Hippy nudist alien guru camp documentary. Very interesting and entertaining. Especially the basic theme of common emotions of guilt and jealousy everyone struggles with. Far from being cult like as one would expect, it's seems more like a innocent exercise of emotional exploration and experimentation. The music and editing work is also surprisingly good.

I ran into this documentary intrigued by its synopsis and not knowing what to expect which is how i think the people in the workshop approached the experience. Would have liked to hear more on the alien theme though.

Enlightenment guaranteed, clothing optional.

9/10
An absolute masterpiece that qualifies as sin to miss out on.

Another fine example of the accomplished French art of turning daily mundane situations into sheer genius entertainment. With the added bonus of being spoiled with one of Lambert Wilson's brilliant performances. Absolutely fantastic. Excellent script, splendid set, impeccable casting topped of with sublime camera work, lightening & soundtrack. A perfect mix of penchant humour, subtle drama & tantalising coincidences. Just plain top notch French cinema. An absolute masterpiece that qualifies as sin to miss out on. The best word to describe this movie is 'gezellig', a dutch word which unfortunately is notoriously renowned for it's inability to be translated into another language.
