Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago

Lydia Smith’s good-natured documentary follows a half-dozen folk taking the traditional pilgrimage, on foot, to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. Smith’s approach may seem a little reminiscent of reality TV (the trials and tribulations of six lively, spirited people on a 500-mile hike), but with lots of soulfulness and none of the lowbrow sensationalism. The net result is a charmingly lyrical travelogue, with bucolic landscapes, beguiling character sketches, and a quietly poetic sense of the spirituality of long-distance walking. Note: Director Smith will be on hand during screenings on Sunday, Feb. 16, to discusss her film. Pageant Theatre. Not rated
