Pictures Of The Old World primarily focuses on the older generation, particularly their daily activities. Through a combination of stills and moving camera work, each person is given a few minutes (approximately 5) of screen time. Followed by the camera, they attempt to make an impression in an unforced manner. These are pleasant, brief impressions, but actually a bit too short. As a result, you are constantly left with an unsatisfied feeling because you want to know more about the person in question, but the documentary has already moved on to the next. However, that does not detract from the fact that Pictures Of The Old World is a beautiful, atmospheric documentary featuring real, genuine people; and not simply characters.
