content
The documentary describes meditation as a solution to better meet the increasingly hectic and stressful everyday life and to deal with its challenges in a more relaxed manner. Four protagonists are accompanied who try out different styles of meditation: Friedrich, anesthetist from Berlin, goes to the Buddha House in the Allgäu for a Vipassana retreat. Nico, theologian from Berlin, is going on a Zen retreat near Lübeck. Dorothea, a lecturer in London, is completing an MBSR course. Uta, mother of three, attends a weekend course in anthroposophical meditation.
According to the makers, the film is one of the most successful documentaries in recent years, with over 25,000 viewers.
criticism
The internet presence "Yoga-aktuell", however, praises the film: "A wonderful, inspiring film about different forms of meditation, obstacles on the way and the fruits of the practice."
The journal Psychologie Heute says: "STOPPING shows in a very gripping documentary how meditation works." The industry service Cinetastic recommends the film to its stressed viewers.
The film service judges that in addition to the protagonists, their teachers and prominent masters of contemplation also have their say, although the film itself does not heed the much-invoked concentration on the essentials.
