		<description><![CDATA[Megan Ratner discusses what makes a minimalist film about sheepherding so powerful

For nearly ten seconds, wind howls over a black screen. Mildly unsettling, the spare opening sets the tone for Sweetgrass, a lyrical documentary about modern-day sheepherders in the American West. Preceding the actual title, the film cuts to a beauty shot of the Rocky [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bloody carnage accompanied by the cries of the doomed is considered a good, almost divine ingredient if the butchery is instigated by wolves. Picture a high-mountain meadow where bands of sheep graze. Imagine yourself a sheepherder responsible for caring for the flock.

You&#8217;re a light sleeper, so when the Great Pyrenees guard dogs bark an alarm, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The camera watches the sheep. The sheep stare back. And stare. And stare. And stare. That’s the design of two shots that come along early in Sweetgrass. And even though there aren’t many shots quite like those in this unfortunately hard to find documentary, those compositions are surprisingly indicative of the film as a whole. [...]]]></description>

Climbing around boulders, up and down hills, working with domestic sheep that become half wild over several months grazing in the high country was tough enough.  Add to this the dangers, the storms and lightning, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many movies can say they have a cast of thousands, and mean it? &#8220;Sweetgrass&#8221; can. It&#8217;s a gorgeous and, believe it or not, riveting documentary . . . about sheep.

Shot without narration, interviews or music &#8212; save for a near-constant chorus of bleating animals &#8212; the film tells the story of the last journey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The documentary Sweetgrass describes itself as an “unsentimental elegy to the American West.” And while it is true that the film doesn’t get wishy-washy, preachy, or overtly nostalgic, the film doesn’t lack for sentiment.

It’s such a gorgeous, simple, beautiful little movie that it is very hard not to get emotionally involved in its story. Which [...]]]></description>
