Underland (12A)

Based on Robert Macfarlane’s 2019 non-fiction bestseller Underland: A Deep Time Journey.

Sandra Hüller’s soft, poetic voiceover guides us through the myriad of extraordinary subterranean spaces beautifully photographed in this stunning documentary. Mexican cave divers take us through a winding, breathtaking cave barely seen by human eyes in millennia – with its own unique ecosystem thriving in the dark. An enormous ash tree with a cavern opening at its base. A sterile, miles-deep facility in Canada attempts to detect dark matter. Cave artwork dating back to early humans….

Underland weaves an exploration of our human species like no other documentary. A mesmerising descent into deep time.

Tickets for this film are £6 (£1 child/student) available on the door or in advance from the Buxton Opera House box-office
