A Whimsical Dream,
By Lesser Knowns (San Mateo, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edward James: Builder of Dreams (Fabricante de Suenos) (DVD)
I felt like I was on an extraordinary journey exploring the beautiful imagery and mystical characters shared throughout this documentary. This film challenges the imagination; at times you will feel like you're in a whimsical dream. You will enter the imagination of surrealist architect Edward James and learn about his intriguing life, accomplishments, and dedication to surrealism. Watching "Edward James: Builder of Dreams" is an excellent way to learn why architect Edward James is an artistic legacy. I didn't know his name before I watched this, but now I feel like I should have sooner. This film comes strongly recommended.

Building a little more beauty & wonder into the world,

This review is from: Edward James: Builder of Dreams (Fabricante de Suenos) (DVD)
What do you want to do with your life? What sort of mark do you wish to leave upon the world? What do you want your life to mean?
This short documentary about Edward James, who began as a poet, artist, and patron of the Surrealists, is one answer to those questions. Born into a life of aristocratic luxury, he pursued his artistic interests from an early age, resisting all attempts to take up his father's business, preferring instead to create & collect art. In time, he settled in Mexico & began building a home that's a Surrealist estate, a work of art in the depths of a gorgeous green jungle, offering surprises & unexpected delights at every turn. Granted, few people will ever have the financial resources to follow in Edward James' wonderfully eccentric & creative footsteps. But it is possible to find or make both time & space within your own life for something more than the everyday routine. I'm not dismissing the need for food, shelter, security -- obviously that's required! Still, so many people who have lived in the most dire of circumstances have recalled later on just how deeply a touch of beauty & contemplation restored their souls & kept them going. That sort of inner nourishment is more vital than we may realize ... and Edward James' life offers a possible path. Recommended!
