Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lush, vivid cinematography
I first heard mention of this film a year and a half ago, in a "preview" blurb in some magazine in a waiting room. Suffice to say I was thrilled to finally get my copy. I was expecting something along the lines of Step Into Liquid, so it took me about 20 minutes to really get into it. If you're a fan of Baraka, or any of the Qatsi films, you'll probably enjoy this film, but the lack of narration, commentary, or dialogue might put some viewers off. If you can look past that, though, it becomes a photo ... Read More
