Wow! The word review does not apply to this film. A review implies an
explanation. Which in this case would be like trying to explain a vivid
dream several hours later. This film truly is a cinematic experience. A
journey that I was twenty five minutes into before I realized that I
was not watching a film, but rather a film was watching me. Each
emotional nuance expressed created a cascading effect of conscious
questions and reflections of the artistry that was unfolding.
Masterfully woven images driven by an exquisitely orchestrated musical
score. The images accentuate the music, or the music enhances the
images. Or it could be completely the other way around? I was fortunate
enough to witness the world premiere of this masterpiece at TIFF. The
Toronto Symphony Orchestra performed the soundtrack live. Which in
itself was a most unique cinematic experience, I strongly suggest live
musical accompaniment of film should be repeated not only here in
Toronto, but Globally. Everything that is old is eventually new again.
Godfrey Reggio, Sir you are a genius. You have created your own
artistic genre, you have expanded on it, reinvented it and turned it
around on itself to create something completely new. Philip Glass, Sir
you are a genius, your music is the life blood of inspiration. To all
the cast and crew of this gem of a film, congratulations! And thank
you.
