Experimental artist Ben Rivers’ feature debut is a beguiling (if patience stretching) journey into solitude💙🎃, as he observes the wordless wilderness existence of Scottish hermit Jake Williams.

It’s technically a doc,💛 but neither Rivers nor his inscrutable subꦫject is interested in backstory; ‘Jake’ isn’t even named on-screen.

We’re lef🐎t to gauge his motives from his tranquil outdoors lifestyleꦇ; a seven-minute take of him floating on a raft is as eventful as this gets.

With meditative compositions and 16mm photography (developed by hand t🅰o create a spectral surrealism), it’s more tranc🅷e than movie.
