MAN OF ARAN (1934)
A documentary so early it doesn’t know the rules about documentaries, about life at the edge of human existence.

A documentary about pet cemeteries and also the meaning of life, maybe low-key one of my all-time favorites.

This “experiment” shocked contemporary audiences but influenced filmmaking decades after its initial release.
