This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
... View MoreTerrible acting, screenplay and direction.
... View MoreIt's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreSimply mesmerizing images and music. The closest to floating in a dream.Ashes and Snow is like the moment Universe came into being. As if attempting to fathom the cosmos. It is my go to movie for meditation on being. Inspires the life within and ultimate freedom. For any human that needs to be reminded of how precious the moments we have on earth are, this is a must see. The way of coexisting portrayed, encourages the forward motion.Be it in work or life, I see this as a hymn to uncomplicated. At least the way I like to see life unfolding on this planet.
... View MoreAshes and Snow is a beautiful example of photographic mastery. Gregory Colbert is one of the top photographers of this generation and Ashes and Snow is a testament to his talent. The film is well shot, tremendously edited and all this to a soundtrack that is appropriate and spiritual: it simply is a joy to watch. It is clear that Colbert has an extraordinary talent and patience. He is able to become a part of these animals' environment. The animals seem engaged and happy.Plus, Lisa Gerrard and Patrick Cassidy's music is delightful. These two performers only enhance an already perfect experience.I would recommend this film to anyone, young or old: everyone will find something to enjoy.
... View MoreI first experienced ashes and snow in Mexico city at it's traveling home "the nomadic museum" A unique way to see this world through the eye of a lens, I most say that as soon as I started to watch the film I could not get my eyes of it. I love the rhythm of film and find that the footage is totally incredible. Seeing this film has change my life, I can fell that the counteraction between man and animal still exist in such ways that was only imaginable in a very distant past. Now I realize that there are still good little enjoyable things are still around PD: Colbert's film is far too good to be described with simple words.
... View MoreI watched the movie. I saw the show (the "nomadic" museum). I can see how this might appeal to some people but to me it seemed that the animals were unwilling or unwitting participants and the spirituality aspect was contrived. The human models or dancers always had their eyes closed, as though in prayer or meditation, while putting themselves in ridiculous, often uncomfortable, sometimes dangerous situations. The music and the sepia tones created the mood but were this in color with live sounds it would be a mockery of art. Of course, one might argue that this *is* art and belief should be suspended, but some of these animals seem so distressed that it proved impossible for me to get into.I know many find this film moving and beautiful. I just found it disturbing.
