Mystery and musical in the woods
29 November 2022
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Hello from Nowhere and interloping into the lives of the characters as they spend a few days camping in the forest. With the societal distractions gone from the picture, campers are free to enjoy their deep or guilty pleasures. In the film, this means singing familiar songs (the movie's original score is great) and partaking of wine. These characters seem most at home when they are singing from a musical learned long ago, or cringing at having heard these songs for so many years. The mystery around the stranger they encounter keeps you guessing.

The cinematography is outstanding, including gorgeous views of the mountains and trees. As I watched the scenes, I reminisced about the camping trips into the woods that I've done over the years. The awe of nature and the physical/emotional closeness with friends have impact in the moment and over the years.
