Routine Pleasures

I have no interest in model trains but this film was entertaining, immersive and in a subtle way, mind-boggling. It is a window into the lives of a small group of hobbyists who engage in an intensely shared passion every Tuesday night at an old hangar bay in in California.

At first the objectives of this documentary may seem unclear but Gorin's commentary throughout the film sketches an ideal that I believe is too often lost in modern life - patience, work ethic and fraternity.

I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to learn a bit about a new topic and doesn't mind diving into a case study on the simple beauty of collaboration.
