Striking Visuals


I loved looking at some if the scenes this movie, in fact I have it Tivo'd (it aired on Stars Cinema) and sometimes I just watch it passively on mute.

I particularly like the blood red river scene. Also memorable were the colored pools by the river (once because of green, yellow, orange and red leaves; then because of the yellow flowers and later because of the ground red rocks).

Anyway, what was your favorite visual?

The floating pile of sticks, drifting into the bay. Like our own galaxy drifting trhough space. Nice.

A visually arresting if somewhat bland documentary about Andy Goldsworthy a landscape artist. Goldsworthy creates his art through raw materials such as stone, plants, sticks and ice. The name of the documentary links to the basis behind many of Goldsworthy's structures which have spirals and swirls like that of a river. Whilst clearly a patient, impassioned man at his work, Goldsworthy by admission is not articulate at putting across in words what or why he creates as he does and this ultimately makes the documentary quite boring. It does however have an orgy of colour and images of which his ice structure in the shape of a fir cone is worthy of special mention. Goldsworthy's structures seem to indicate a compulsion for space with the use of black holes. There also seemed to be something disturbing about his homage to his younger brother's dead wife i.e. cutting what could only be described as a vagina into the bark of a tree.
