    Avoid practicing yoga

    Very slow paced monotone movie that is following the life of a lethargic yoga teacher that is completely lost and cannot react to what life throws at him.

    It is supposed to be a comedy, but there is not much to laugh about. Shot like a documentary following a depressed character that fails to interacts with the world, it feels that nothing has any consequence.

    Apparently this director likes to have his actors play like robots, and in that he is very successful. It's very difficult to connect to the story that feels very anaesthetic and lost in a thick veil of water and fog.

    If the job was to make the audience feel that life is meaningless and yoga is pointless, this movie was a success.

    A Heartwarming, Feel-Good Movie

    This movie is about a man whose life is falling apart: his marriage has ended, he's experiencing symptoms of depression, he is physically injured, and his job is facing significant problems because one of his patients has an accident and loses her memory during a yoga class. Additionally, another student steals everyone's phones from the class.

    Despite his life falling apart, the film portrays life as still funny and absurd. Yoga helps him connect with nature, eventually aiding him in connecting with himself and finding healing. It emphasizes that everything falling apart is not the end; life can still maintain a sense of humor.

    The characters in this movie are intentionally portrayed as flat in a good way-exaggerated, quirky, and weird. The comedy arises from the interaction between characters and the unexpected exchanges they have, coupled with funny dialogues and events.

    The director has added another layer of comedy through physical comedy reminiscent of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.

    The cinematography in this movie is great, with bright and joyful colors that evoke a feeling of coziness, hominess, niceness, and welcome.

    The editing also contributes significantly to the comedy. For example, some scenes are longer to allow the joke to settle down.

    My favorite character in this movie was Steffi, played by Celine Wemple. Her quirky, weird character who lost her memory, and the situations she finds herself in, played perfectly by the actress, give a very solid performance.

    Overall, the movie is very sweet and worth watching.
