I was lucky enough to catch the premier of this deeply-felt documentary at the SF International Film Festival and it made a lasting impression on me. It goes in directions you don't expect, and has a rich vein of humanity running straight through its heart. It's one of my favorite docs on Fandor.

This beautiful, moving documentary focuses on a few displaced and broken loners eking out lives as mushroom harvesters on the edge of the Oregon wilderness where everyone is from somewhere else, but where improbable life paths cross and chance meetings become kinships as close as blood bonds. As a transplanted Pacific Northwestern sportsman with a SE Asian family of mushroom fanatics, this movie strikes an especially deep chord. Regional, intimate and warm while simultaneously universal and anthropological. Wonderful.
I specifically joined Fandor to watch this film, and I absolutely adore it. The intimacy with landscape, the comfort with characters, and the remarkable patience with story itself that are on display here are--to my mind--very strongly suggestive of a talent to watch. I'm (way) late to this party, but "The Last Season" is one of my favorite films of the year. It's quiet & weird, complex & lyrical and makes me keenly interested to see what director Sara Dosa does next as a filmmaker.
Good story, moves a bit slowly, good filming, wished for more about the mushrooming community, enjoyable!
