Doc. ALL that BREATHES-Well Intentioned film that Put Me to Sleep

ALL that BREATHES is a a doc. about two brothers who bond over tending to birds in a decaying world.  Beautifully filmed at a lugubrious pace, the brothers living in New Delhi, make it their lifelong mission to care for the majestic black kites.  These birds of prey are dying out in their quickly decaying New Delhi skies.  The prevalent kites have become subjected to increasing pollutants, posing a threat to their longevity and to their essential contribution to the indigenous, surrounding ecosystem.  The breathtaking cinematography does not shy away from the rat and flea infestation or the receding riverbeds.  The filming casts a melancholy pall over the land that is shared by the brothers' torment.  The commendable devotion for their nurturing of the maimed birds that appear docile in their deft hands is laudable.  This highly awarded doc. is noted for calling attention to the violence and desecration within New Delhi.  As a vegetarian, animal advocate and environmentalist, I was anticipating watching the newly released ALL that BREATHS which sadly didn't measure up to my enthusiasm.  The steady but turgid depiction of the birds' care and the brothers' family lives was so somnolently slow and hypnotic, so much so, that this apiarian and avid movie goer went swiftly to sleep.
