Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This strange experiment in filmed conversation finds three people--a physicist, a poet, a politician--yammering about the environment, science, art, government, and much else, all in an effort either to find or to dispute connections between disparate subjects. There is no story, as such--just lots of chatter (much of it not particularly profound) shot against a variety of picturesque backgrounds. If director Bernt Capra thought this would turn out to be another My Dinner with André, that fantasy falls on its face. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mindwalk
This VHS production of Mindwalk is a great film if you consider yourself a thinker. It follows the conversation of three characters as they discuss the composition of the universe and its implications from the perspectives of a scientist, a politician, and an artist. If you're not the cerebral type and prefer an action movie with a lead character that saves the day by the end of the movie, this film is not for you. But if you're susceptible to deep conversations about life and the operating principles ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Keep Playing Those Mind Games Forever ~ The Illusory Nature Of Reality
"A stroll around Mont St Michel, France brings together three highly successful and educated people with disparate worldviews; a politician, a poet and a physicist. A conversation ensues about the nature of reality and the new physics that challenges what we perceive to be the tangible world around us.

The '91 film `Mindwalk' is a New Age lecture presented in the guise of a motion picture. It's really quite painless, informative and even enjoyable at times. The tour around St. Michel is wonderful ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simply Put: GREAT Film
It's such a shame that this movie has gone out of print, and no DVD release seems imminent. This is, simply put, one of the best films I have ever seen. And, to see it here being sold for a minimum double the price of list price means that there is probably little chance that others will take the chance and buy this wonderful gem.
When I first watched it, more than a decade ago, I had no idea what it was about, or who Fritjof Capra was. Now, thanks to this movie, I now have enjoyed many of his books, and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - What No DVD?
Fascinating movie. I can't believe it hasn't been released on DVD. Criterion Collection, wake up!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Could change your life
Did you know that Ione Sky is in this movie? Did you know that this ultra hottie is actually the daughter of 60's psycadellica folksinger Donovan? I know! I know! It's so like, whoa!

I actually dragged my yound wife to this flick when it hit theatres decades ago. The film so fascinated me that I skipped the post dinner-date sex and began marauding through the campus library grabbing every book I could find on Systems Theory. 48 hours later, I grokked "a system is what it does" and now I can learn, ...
