When the lead in a film says: “What do I do for a living? I live for a living”, you know you’re in for a treat.
Fresh from a special mention at the Berlin Film Festival, New Zealand documentary This Way of Life is an open window into the heart of what it means to be a family, and a stunningly shot postcard sent from the wilderness of our beautiful country and the people who inhabit it.
This doco surprised me with its gentle emotion and engaging characters, I was transported entirely into another way of life, This Way of Life.
Four and half stars.
