Product Description
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. Using rocks and tree branches and grass and anything else around the location he has chosen. He has decided specifically to create scultpures that will only stand temporarily. This new 2-DVD special edition includes a bonus film - Snowballs in Summer, an exclusive interview with filmmaker Thomas Riedelsheimer, and a companion book with never-before-seen photos of Andy Goldsworthy creating his artwork during the making of the film. 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 Actors: Andy Goldsworthy, Anna Goldsworthy, Holly Goldsworthy, James Goldsworthy, Judith Goldsworthy Directors: Thomas Riedelsheimer Writers: Thomas Riedelsheimer Producers: Annedore von Donop, Leslie Hills, Trevor Davies |
