DVD Reviews of John Santerineross-Neo-Symbolist PhotographyDVD Review: The transfer holds this item back, along with some repetitive material. Summary: 3 StarsFirst of all let me say I am in no way downplaying John Santerineross' work. 5 stars all the way. Pure beauty in its darkest and most intriguing form.
I gave this presentation only 3 stars since the transfer is bad. His images are grainy, low res. Even though I enjoyed the dvd overall, 3 of the pieces on it seemed like rehashes of one another. Similar clips/stills/materials just rearranged w a different score. Different interpretations of the material, but nothing new overall. Needs more variety exploring his body of work more.
Even the interview was grainy. Moreso, at the beginning of this interview, "Play" is visible in the upper right hand corner as if someone was transferring this clip from their vcr. Poor quality.
His work is amazing on many levels and emotions. I am a bit disappointed in the overall technical execution of this title.
DVD Review: Multimedia Magic Summary: 5 StarsI've long been a fan of John Santerineross' evocative artwork. His images are hauntingly beautiful and thought provoking. It was exciting to learn he is expanding into the medium of film. I purchased the DVD for that reason and was not disappointed. His short film, "Child, Doll or Bone", brings a quiet, gentle, beauty to subject matter rarely perceived in that way. BUT, best of all, the DVD contained an unexpected treat. The slide shows & multimedia presentation are just wonderful. When I recently hosted a holiday party, I played them to add to the ambiance of the evening. I feel they really enhanced the feel. Several of my guests commented that they finally understand what draws me so strongly to Santerineross artwork. Just get this DVD and you will understand too.
DVD Review: Emotionally Powerful and Beautiful Summary: 5 StarsThis DVD is the most comprehensive representation of this amazing artist's collection of photographic works as well as his initial foray into film. It is a "must have" for fans as well as newcomers. His unique and hauntingly honest representation of the human condition is both refreshing as well as intensely emotional.
The glimpse into his creative process is also fascinating and inspiring. If you have not experienced his work this is definitely the best way to get an initial taste. You will likely end up thirsting for more.
DVD Review: A Beautiful Glimpse Summary: 5 Stars This Dvd is a beautiful glimpse into the world, and work, of John Santerineross, known as the leader in this genre, of art photography,
he treats us to all the photographs in both of his books, "Fruit of The Secret God", and "Dream", he includes a montage of film clips taken while he composes his pieces, and a short art film about a shocking subject(cutting), done very tenderly, so as not to shock.
This little film, in spite of breath taking visuals, is not so much eye candy, as it is mind candy, leaving a hauntingly, bittersweet, after taste on the tongue. The images are living assembelages of religio-sensual elements, presented through a dream like filter. The sepia tone photography, evokes the feeling of, a memory,a strange familiarity, regarding our desires and fears. His work is a wild roller coaster ride, which, thrills, and at times, terrifies, and leaves you wanting to "go again".
The images of women portrayed in this work, are a refreshing respite
from the mainstream images of women that, we are bombarded with daily in the media. Like REAL women, each image begs to be studied for content. The film itself is not long but is filled with so much information, so much to process, it is an epic in its own right.
I highly recommend any of John Santerineross's work, to lovers of neo- symbolist, art, photography, and erotica. To other artists like myself he is truly an inspiration.
DVD Review: Exquisite !!!!!!!!!!! Summary: 5 StarsSanterineross' multimedia presentation explores the human experience through a spectrum of ancient and contemporary spiritual, social, and erotic themes. The artist challenges each of us to look deep within one's self and explore the darker aspects of human nature. Darkness is often ill-defined by negative cultural connotations. However, the essence of our being exists neither in light or darkness, but in the shadows of mystery that is life. The scope of Santerineross' photographic images and alluring short film "Child, Doll or Bone," is a luminous interpretation of myth, beauty, and pain. This DVD is an enchanting exhibit.
