Bogancloch review – the further adventures of a Scottish hermit in Ben River’s beguiling essay
NeutralEntertainment

Ben Rivers, a leading figure in the UK's experimental film scene, revisits the enigmatic life of Jake Williams, a Scottish recluse who's been the subject of his past works like Two Years at Sea. This latest film, Bogancloch, dives deeper into Williams' solitary forest existence—captivating yet inscrutable, leaving viewers to ponder the allure of a life untethered from modern society.
Editor’s Note: Rivers' work isn’t just about documenting a hermit—it’s a meditation on solitude, human resilience, and the quiet rebellion of living off the grid. In an era of constant connectivity, Williams' story challenges our assumptions about what a "fulfilled" life looks like, making this more than just a niche art-house curiosity.
