DVD Reviews of Ashes and Snow Film
DVD Review: Better Than a Martini
Summary: 5 Stars
You've had a rough day--or maybe a series of rough days, right? Or maybe you feel really down about everything. Your head is spinning. There's too much noise. Even your living room seems too loud. What can you do? You can insert this DVD into the player (as long as the DVD player works properly), kick back, let out a sigh, and then watch this movie. It's about as relaxing as anything you'll find. But more than this, be prepared to be drawn into beautiful episodes of filmmaking. And just draw it all in, leave behind the ceaseless distractions and get back to the original source of sanity.
Okay, maybe I'm overstating that a bit. And I'm sure that this DVD would drive some people to madness because it is so slow and unassuming, and maybe too much sepia. But the good reasons why people ought to like this DVD have little to do with action and special effects, crowds and sepia. They have to do with discovery, with finding ourselves in despair in the cool, roomy world of cell phones and instant messaging, where someone is always asking, "Where is it?" "Is it ready yet?" "How soon can I have it?" Here, elephants float in lakes in languorous peace peddling Earth's only answer. Over and again, just one word: "Hush."
Now this is how I spell relief.
Description of Ashes and Snow Film
60-minute feature film (DVD) written, directed, produced, and filmed by Gregory Colbert. A poetic field study that depicts the world not as it is, but as it might be a world in which the natural and artificial boundaries separating humans from other species do not exist.Colbert's Ashes and Snow feature film captures extraordinary moments of contact between people and animals as seen through the lens of Colbert's camera on more than thirty expeditions to some of the earth's most remote places. The viewing experience is one of wonder and contemplation, serenity, and hope.
Edited by two-time Oscar-winner Pietro Scalia; narrated by actors Laurence Fishburne (English) and Ken Watanabe (Japanese). Musical collaborators include Michael Brook, David Darling, Heiner Goebbels, Lisa Gerrard, Lukas Foss, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Djivan Gasparyan.
