This review is from: Lisa Gerrard: Sanctuary (DVD)

I should've known before viewing that this would be something different, something totally other from anything else I've ever viewed. It was that and so much more. For the first five minutes or so I found myself confused and somewhat disappointed. Or more precisely, I was in a state of shock. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Was this some kind of experimental film, poorly spliced newsreel, or maybe a hallucinogenic dream gone array? There were lights flashing, random images appearing and disappearing at a rapid pace. People were talking about things I didn't understand and everything was unconnected. Or so I thought. Leave it to Lisa to create a unique mood, an atmosphere where ones normal mental constructs could be short circuited enough to allow a new way of experiencing the world unfold before the viewer, a world where Lisa feels most at home.

This is obviously not your ordinary documentary laden with times, dates and events in the life of the person in question. There is as much to be learned about Lisa in the mood and music then there is in the words being spoken. How appropriate don't you think, a documentary whos message is conveyed by musical resonance and atmosphere about a singer and composer who sings without words. Truly amazing!

The confusion experienced at the beginning of the film ended with a feeling of profound silence and depth at its ending. Sitting motionless as the closing credits rolled by I was filled with an indescribable emotion that seemed to encompass me not only from within, but from without as well. I had to smile to myself. Lisa had performed her unconventional magic once again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good background stuff, but a bit talky, May 6, 2007

Dead Can Dance and Lisa Gerrard fans will enjoy the biographical part of this doco. However there's very little music and a lot of talk - Lisa at her best is inspiring, at her worst incomprehensible. There's a lot going round in her head, and when trying to explain it to the interviewer she seems a bit off the planet. Interesting certainly but not something you'd watch over and over again, unlike Toward The Within which one could watch forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Sanctuary For Everyone, April 24, 2007

This review is from: Lisa Gerrard: Sanctuary (DVD)

The film is AMAZING! Lisa Gerrard is still an angel, actually even bigger now. She talks about her career, her life, and longings and what motivates her. It's an intimate portrait always dignified of one of today's most incredible artist. I highly recommend it to every fan of Dead Can Dance.
