INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
赵婷的电影确实在一定程度上打碎了近十年来流行文化对于young wild American时代的庸俗想象，引入的萧条、阶级视角也几乎是独异的。但是我稍不满的是刻意强调主人公受文学影响的一面，而且画面配音乐的抒情方式也用得过多而显得偷懒了。印象深刻的是一幕背景音和现实吉他弹唱交叠覆盖的场景，断续的弦乐有一种超拔的视角。
观影过程中几度产生一种莫名的熟悉感，直到配乐第一次奏起才恍然大悟，这种孤寂与平静的诗意与Ludovico的作曲如出一辙。从有些本末倒置的角度来说，Nomadland是对鲁叔作曲的一次满分影像化表达。
#影评拖延症又犯了
最后就是她说能不能尝试想起婚约上的誓言，说起来好笑，厘米拍照要成册，然后设计师发来，很多happy every day ，happy family这样的英文，我们连夜花了5个小时翻阅泰戈尔，王尔德，莎士比亚，电影经典台词来替换。
5 平静中爆发出令人惊叹的力量，见天地见众生才能知道自己是多么的渺小。为什么上路的原因可能有很多种，赵婷的电影只用了一个很小的切入点，把生活和人生的意义通过一段又一段旅途展现出来，有相逢有友谊有莫名的情愫也有难以面对的死亡与离别，但别担心也别畏惧，最终我们都将会在路上相见，不管是几个月之后，一年之后，还是很多年之后，就像那束从1987年穿越而来的光，就像那千万年间从宇宙散落的落到我们手中的原子。
鸡皮疙瘩都看出来了，难以想象这么年轻的导演竟然能表达的如此成熟、克制、灵动、自由，如果在电影院看估计得哭
从为了缅怀上路到想上路 从朋友领着到自己为新年点小烟花 见过临近终点 见过可能的停留处 然后从最初的家里再出发 压低的地平线和山脊的太阳 水里的身体 姐妹二人一个走向房子一个沿路走出画右
寒冷的冬季夜晚，别一个人看《无依之地》，太孤独了！
6 赵婷得奖，中美双赢。
EP.22-26 《柱众会议》
拒绝港湾，回到最初梦碎的地方，然后再转身继续走下去。真正的公路片。
好舒服的电影，与其说是转述或呈现不如说更像是我偶然闯入了一个房间，一个人正在倾听另一个人讲话，不肖多时我发现我也想听。又像散文诗，被轻易地带进一个陌生而温暖的世界，里面有温柔的游侠和群居的篝火。那片土地上的治愈是真正从苦难里生出的花，你不用采摘，光是看见就让人也有所宽慰。
每一种生活方式
如果不是一个中国导演凭这部电影卷走了金狮奖、金球奖，我想它绝不会上国内的院线。因为它实在是太不“娱乐”了，甚至不适合在电影院里观看，这是孤独的人在孤独的时候孤独地看的电影。老实说，我对女主的各种固执有足够的理解，但并不认可她的不得不上路，导演需要这个角色来彻底表达游牧式迁徙的另类人生末路，对国人来说这更是破天荒的概念，没发现有啥可以共情的人群（也许人生已过半百的人适合），另外国内喜好看院线的电影爱好者，和非院线电影爱好者有霄壤之别，如同二个人喜欢旅游的人结伴而行，一个是准备一路打工赚旅费，一个是挥舞着花呗非四星不住，是注定分道扬镳的，如赵婷自己所说——“很多人可能会看睡着，但那些没有看睡着的人，会得到一种全然不同的观影体验”
今年的NYFF有点可怜，但是Nomadland在汽车影院观影体验可能更胜于传统影院。一个无依的人，串起更多漂泊的故事。科恩嫂的克制，广袤的风景，自然的音乐，观感很舒适。对于赵婷这是又一次突破，对于公路片，似乎也没有什么新意。Drive-in观影加一星
旁人不能理解，实际上她因深爱亡夫又无家可归，于是只能带着遗物与思念，寄情于路上——爱令我们画地为牢，不肯放下，不肯遗忘；但爱一个人的最好结果，是最终令我们深爱这个与所爱之人共处的世界，因为爱已化为星辰、化为千风、化为飞鸟、化为晨曦。
总之是好电影！
最终女主角还是喜欢在路上，享受孤独，但又不是完整的孤独，她会与人交流，还沟通得很好，并不十分内向。整部片子很像小众独立制片的不知名素人演的，怪不得费兰西斯可以三封，完全洗尽铅华的feel，而梅丽尔还在执着在抓马的《洗衣店》《不要抬头》《让他们说》《毕业舞会》里，虽然演的很好，但是缺乏新鲜感。
以为一直要逃离的那个起点，可能只是公转的焦点；以为不断远去的逃离，可能只是兜兜转转。6
如同读一首行吟诗。
