Numen

documentary

Lush film about man's connections with the plant world, with special emphasis on the healing power they contain. Beautifully photographed. Interesting talking heads. This flirted with New Age mawkishness all the way through, made some solid points about mainstream medicine and near the end finally slopped over into mush.

Too bad. If they had used a bit more restraint this would have been a gem.
