Manakamana


Directed By: Stephanie Spray

January 21, 2013 / English Nepali / 118 minutes

The film consists entirely of fixed long takes of groups of people (and once, five goats) inside a cable car as it goes up and down a Nepalese mountain. The first trip shows an old man and a young boy that sit next to each other without saying a word. The following groups have a chat, admire the landscape, make selfies, eat an ice cream or play an instrument.
