Review of "Arcadia"

Full review

Despite containing much fascinating footage it is difficult to discern a pattern or intention, let alone meaning, in the montage. It is claimed to be about our relationship with nature and the land - but I don't see that reflected here. There is a good non-documentary film to be made about this subject, but this isn't it. Frankly it is a bit incoherent. Three stars solely because some of the archive clips are interesting in themselves, not for the whole as a movie which would get one star.
