And Truman Show! Epic soundtrack. Also Jane (documentary on Goodall), which is almost a reworking of the Mishima music.. extremely similar, but I still found it to be vibrant and fresh.
Also if you listen to The Truman Show main theme, you may find that it sounds very similar to The Leftovers main theme. I’m quite certain that Richter must have borrowed elements from it.
The article mentions a series of movies that similarly make clear the potential depth and richness of animal lives, like My Octopus Teacher, or Jane. For anyone interested in similar stories, or resonated with the message of the article, I’d recommend Gunda, a new documentary about the life of a pig on a Scandinavian farm.
