4.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Desert Dream Come True..., November 20, 2001

By 

lasher (Space and the Great Beyond) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Desert Winds (DVD)

This is a tremendous love story between Jackie (Heather Graham) and Eugene (Michael A. Nickles). They meet by chance through a mystical Indian wind tunnel that allows them to hear each other while being hundreds of miles apart. Well, years go by and they meet again through the same wind tunnel and begin to share the stories of their lives.

At first it seems like a slow sleepy dialogue based film, but gradually it starts weaving it's magic on you. The way that can only be done in the American Southwest, which is definately the 3rd main character here.

When I started watching this I thought I was going to fall asleep, it was 3am and I had just about had it. Then something amazing happened, their dialogue wrapped around me like a warm blanket. I felt so safe, it was an incredible experience. Heather Graham's performance was wonderfully poignant and charming. My eyes and ears were glued to her every movement, her every word.

This is what independent film is all about, stories that come straight from the heart, with truth and honesty and just a pinch of pure magic...

5.0 out of 5 stars Lyrical love-story that showcases Heather Graham's talent., September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Desert Winds [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A lyrical love story about a long distance relationship between Jackie (Heather Graham) and Eugene (Michael A. Nickles) who meet and communicate through a mystical wind tunnel. A very independent and truly original film. I love the fact that the filmmakers did not resort to any of the more traditional trappings of Hollywood films. Great soundtrack and awesome cinematography. A real indie gem!

5.0 out of 5 stars Whimsical, romantic , inspiring and thought-provoking..., April 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Desert Winds [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I stumbled onto this film and it's become a new favorite! It's whimsical, romantic and original. (Not just another "chick flick!") It's also timely, thought-provoking and deep. The desert shots were so rich, I was ready to jump in the car and head for Arizona! I'm an instant Michael A. Nickles fan! I will definitely watch this film again and again...
