DVD Review: Where are We Coming From
Summary: 3 Stars
In Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou's Genesis we are introduced to an African griot (Sotigui Kouyate) who tells in simple mythical language of the creation of the earth and the life upon it. This is a simple not scientific vision that will be quite appealing to younger audiences. The most impressive thing about this film is not the story, but rather the incredible images of nature. The film took six years to make. In the film we witness the birth of the cosmos, the planet fire, the planet ocean, the first living things that pulled themselves out of the water to walk upon the land, and finally the eventual coming of chaos or decay in which life loses its battle with time.
This is an amazing film to watch. The lower rating is not based on what is presented in the film but rather upon the fact that I had witnessed the BBC series Planet Earth before I saw this one. Planet Earth presents the ecosystems of the planet using much the same imagery. Genesis presents us with the birth of animal life instead. If there is a real problem with the film its that it is presented in a dubbed English version with no option for the subtitled French language track.
The film presented in the standard DVD format loos amazing eventhough it is letterboxed to fit my screen. The Dolby Stereo 2.0 adequately captures Bruno Coulais score. The edition features a trailer gallery and an image gallery.
While this may no longer be the greatest nature documentary made; that distinction now goes to Planet Earth it is well worth watching. Its imagery and story will appeal to a large audience and its simple message is both heartfelt and eloquent.
Rent it .
