A Forest of Wool and Steel (2018)

A forest of Wool and Steel is more like a novel, packed with emotions and music. Rather than a good story, this one focused more on the aesthetics and how to represent the sound of the music a piano creates with nature and, especially, the forest. There was a ghost of a story, with the main character choosing to become a piano tuner and working as one, while encountering some piano players and helping them create the perfect sound that they are looking for. But the story was just okay, as there was no intensity nor real point in it. Rather, the breathtaking views of the forest and the water, as well as the music, they were the main protagonists of the movie. Finally, the performances were good from all the cast members.

calming and mellow film!

I might need to watch this again but it was quite a beautiful movie. I love how all the piano pieces played were different and created such vivid scenery each time. I also liked how you–the viewer–got to see how much intricate work goes into tuning and fixing pianos. The subject matter should've bored me but it was actually very interesting. You could feel the passion from all the characters, especially the girls whenever they played. It was inspiring in a way.

Although the script was poetic at times, what I took away was more of the nature scenes that accompanied the piano scenes. This isn't really plot-driven at all and not much happens, just a lot of pianos. I'd recommend this if you just wanna get swept up in the pretty music and lovely scenery of the lush green forest.
