Gorgeously shot and edited by director Thomas Riedelsheimer, RIVERS AND TIDES is an intoxicating study of the fragile relationship between man, art and nature. Amazon.com: Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers and Tides is a truly beautiful, Scottish-German 2001 documentary about artist Goldsworthy, a Scotsman whose medium is nature itself and whose preferred studio is the outdoors, particularly where water forever flows, rises, and/or retreats. The soft-spoken, secluded Goldsworthy is seen hard at work making ephemeral sculptures out of bits of ice in the trees, or building tall, mysterious cones from loose rock, which stand like spiritual sentinels in forests and on shorelines, overgrown by plants or swallowed daily by high tides. Filmmaker-cinematographer Thomas Reidelsheimer goes to great and sometimes inexplicable lengths to make visual corollaries to Goldsworthy's ideas about underappreciated relationships between light, color, movement, balance, and fluidity of form in the real world, making Rivers and Tides a lively and always surprising cinematic gallery. Some of Goldsworthy's most miraculous natural installations--stone walls that snake through hundreds of feet of forest and stream, for instance--show up in the last half-hour. --Tom Keogh Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A real story of the creative process Just the most beautiful film about a an artist whose canvas and materials are nature. Rating: - A personal look The film maker's skill matches the sensitivity of Goldsworthy - - a seamless relationship. I watch this over and over. EVERY time, I see something that startles and wonder how I could have missed it before. In this way, the DVD is an ever renewing source of jolts... the best kind. It has also become something of a barometer of my own ability to SEE, to be in the moment. My tiny TV is in front of windows that look into the forest. I often have layers of nature in front of me, real and virtual. I hope ...

His "work" (as he keeps calling it) is simple in concept, but maybe not so simple to execute as well as he does. And that is both the strength of it, and its downfall. The simplicity is unpretentious and pure in a way that art very rarely is, these days. At the same time it is fun and silly and unsophisticated in a way that makes Andy's serious pronouncements ... Read More Rating: - Rivers and Tides-an artist at work Andy Goldsworthy is an amazing artist and seeing him in action is incredible. He builds sculptures out of natural materials (stones, leaves, ice) and then waits for nature to do her part in the natural destruction of them. His books have pictures of both the finished product and sometimes the sequence either leading up to or after the sculpture is complete, but to see the painstaking process of building (not always successfully) is very impressive. Nice narration too. Rating: - great stuff I enjoyed this video very much and thought that it was a beautiful piece of work. For anyone that it interested in seeing the earth and its makeup in a different light, this is something you might be interested in. see more Browse for similar items by category: Documentary - Genres - DVD - Video - Biography Documentary - Genres - DVD - Video - General History Ancient History General
