The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Evolving around some of the oldest people in the world this is an intimate invitation to reflections on personal values and their historical possibilities and constraints, seen from the perspective of the film maker and his fiancée. But the film also, in a more implicit manner, portraits the contemporary fascination with age, numbers, statistics and records, and its role in media and politics, starting with the idea of making the film itself, and, implicitly, our attraction to the topic as viewers. While the atmosphere of the film is really nice, and the short comments on the encounters in the film make space for more reflection, it could have benefited from some critical distance to the phenomenon. Some metaphors, as a train for life, are too simple, and the emphasis on the different values gives the film a religious touch that I was not completely comfortable with. Overall, the film is nevertheless really worth seeing, and opens up for further discussion.
