Plot: Echoes of the Invisible interweaves a mosaic of profound quests: a blind man running alone from the lowest point in the western hemisphere to the highest mountain peak in the U.S.; artist Rachel Sussman’s struggles to photograph the oldest continuously living things on Earth; journalist Paul Salopek’s 21,000-mile walk retracing the migration route through which our ancestors first discovered the planet; astronomers and physicists attempting to see into the furthest depths of time; and monks probing the most extreme environment of all – the human heart. They discover, in their own way, something that transcends all that divides us in a world lost in the speed and noise of the digital age.

Parochially Sublime
This movie is an example of the genre I call The Parochial Sublime.Since Burke, we’ve all know what the Sublime is, about Awe and Horror, about the acceptance of, and seeing the beauty in, something very very different from ourselves. What Burke, however, missed, is that most of humanity is *incapable* of appreciating the Sublime; anything too strange is just too strange.
And so we get The Parochial Sublime, the Sublime cut down to size by insisting on its “relevance”, on how it “speaks to us”, on what it teaches us. In other the Sublime devoid of everything that actually matters…
This is the mindset that has every documentary about biology telling us about medical applications, every documentary about physics telling us about new materials, every documentary about the ocean is about climate change and overfishing. It’s the mindset that asks “will this be on the test”, and that insists on identity history (because: why would you be interested in anything beyond yourself?) It’s the mindset that simply cannot appreciate grandeur just as grandeur.
Unfortunately most documentaries, even those superficially Sublime, are actually Parochially Sublime; and this is no exception. It’s not enough to glory in the gorgeousness of the images, to wallow in the strangeness of what’s being presented; as usual the strangeness has to be waved away by insisting on how it can be mapped to the petty concerns of individual humans.
If the Parochial Sublime is your thing, go ahead, you’ll love it.
If you prefer the Sublime, switch off the sound and just watch.
