5.0 out of 5 stars Lush, vivid cinematography, January 27, 2007

By	FemFoison (USA) - See all my reviews

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-documentary (to music) about our relationship with nature and with each other. I can't say I fell in love with the soundtrack right away, but nevertheless it warrants a solid 5-star rating. Despite all odds the directors succeed brilliantly, conveying beauty, the human connection, and even humor, and everything I felt was "missing" could be found in the Bonus features (director commentary, behind the scenes, etc).

Point of interest: The segment in Cuba is particularly demonstrative of the perfect juxtaposition of music and imagery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sipping is awesome, September 18, 2007

This is a work of art. Like the Mona Lisa of surf movies. The cinematography is amazing, the locations are rare and exclusive, and the waves and surfers are from a dream. My favorite thing overall is the music. You cannot beat the soundtrack for this DVD. One of the bands is The Album Leaf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully filmed..., December 19, 2006

This is a gorgeous film to watch. The DVD comes with a book of photographs and the packaging is very high quality. The scenery and travel shots in this movie are worthy of hanging on a wall. The surfing locations are more exotic than the norm, which is a nice change - and the music is also paired well and in fact, I hope they release a cd as I'd purchase it. It really is a unique surfing film from the many others I've seen. However, the one big disappointment was there's no narrative, and I personally would've liked to know where they were during each session, what beaches, who was surfing etc, along with the usual entertaining travel tales expected from such a journey. There is a DVD option for "director's commentary" that gives some background - but interviews with the surfers and more on the why/what/where/when/how and especially, how interacting with locals, was something I really wanted to know more about to. (and i know this is a surf film first, but I think those extras would've really enhanced this film) Still, it's worth watching and makes a really nice gift to any surfing enthusiast - and anyone who enjoys travel photography.
