SYNOPSIS
|
 "That
rare film about an artist that is, in itself, a work of art, Rivers
and Tides Andy Goldsworthy Working With Time is an extraordinary journey
into the world and mind of Scottish sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. A land-artist
who uses materials from nature to make site-specific works, Goldsworthy
allows the elements to have the last say in his beautiful creations,
as his ingenious patterns of wood, leaves, stone and ice move and
erode over time. German filmmaker Thomas Riedelsheimer followed the
artist for over a year in several outdoor locations, intimately documenting
his improvisational process and capturing the serene spectacle of
his works and their delicate changes. Although Goldsworthy's private
and often ephemeral pieces have been documented extensively in still
photographs, this remarkable movie uses the artist's own voice to
guide usthrough his process and help us "…see something
you never saw before, that was always there but you were blind to
it." Winner of the Golden Gate Award at the recent San Francisco
International Film Festival, Rivers and Tides is a sensual and poetic
masterpiece." - Richard Peterson. |
REVIEW

has an incredible love and interest in the cinematic arts. His reviews
usually include independent and significantly important film.

 The
last few years have given us some very good films about artists: Pollock,
Frida and Chi-hwa-seon (a lovely Korean film about Jang Seung-up,
a 19th Century Korean painter). These films focus on the artists and
their struggles and give us some exposure and insight into the art
they produced.
Rivers and Tides focuses more on art produced by Andy Goldsworthy
than on the artist. And that art is fabulous.
Goldsworthy is an environmental artist. He makes his art from the
materials he finds in nature and uses those materials to draw our
attention to natural setting he makes his art.
Some of his art (such as a wall winding through a field) is built
to withstand to forces of nature. Some of it (like a dome built from
driftwood on a rivers edge) is made to last only a short time and
be destroyed by the same nature that it celebrates.
 In
Rivers and Tides we watch as Goldsworthy labors to create his art.
It may be a simple project or very involved. Much of his art is only
seen by those who might stumble upon it in the wild, or by his photographs
of what he has made. This film gives us a chance to see the creation
of the art and the beauty of it. Some of the works in this film are
movable art that because they are made for this film, we get to see
in their fullest.
While watching the film, it is difficult to remain silent. The oohs
and ahhs just come out. The works are in deed breathtaking and awe
inspiring.
Like Goldsworthy's art, Thomas Riedelsheimer's film gives us a fresh
way of seeing the nature around us and appreciating not only the creation
of art, but God's creation. |
