Synopsis / Sinopsis
An unsentimental elegy to the American West, Sweetgrass follows the last sheepherders to trail their flocks up into Montana's Beartooth mountains for summer pasture. Without commentary, this astonishingly beautiful yet unsparing non-fiction film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, climate and landscape and vulnerability and violence are all intimately meshed.
Documentarul Sweetgrass este o elegie deloc romantizată a Vestului american, prin care sunt urmăriţi ultimii păstori ce îşi mână turmele spre păşunile de vară, sus în munţii Beartooth din Montana. Fără intervenţii ale comentatorului, documentarul dezvăluie o lume în care natura şi cultura, animalele şi oamenii, clima şi peisajul, vulnerabilitatea şi violenţa, sunt toate în strânsă legătură.
