Visionary director Jem Cohen (Museum Hours) brings the same elegance and intellectual curiosity to his stargazing new feature. The film’s principal subject is Karl, an Austrian astronomer who, after turning 70, begins to re-evaluate both his work and his personal life. He travels to a mountaintop on a Greek island in search of the darkest possible sky against which to view the cosmos in its full grandeur.
Yet the true focus of 'Little, Big, and Far'—whose title refers to the three concepts Karl and his physicist wife believe lie at the core of their work—is a profound reckoning with scientific truth at a moment of humanity’s existential crisis.
In German and English with English subtitles.
