Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers and Tides is a truly beautiful, Finnish-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

Absolutely Beautiful (2005-09-02)

This is one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. The breathtaking beauty of Andy Goldsworthy's art left me in tears at many times. I do not exaggerate at all when I say that there are hardly any words that could possibly do justice to the experience of watching "Rivers and Tides". I have never been so moved by a film in my whole life, nor have I ever felt so alive as I did during and immediately after watching it. Yes, it is a bit slow going in the beginning, but you will soon become charmed by the natural settings, the quiet reflectiveness of Mr. Goldsworthy, and even the leisurely pace of the movie. I have watched it several times and it doesn't become boring or old. Each time I watch it is as exciting as the first, and I am confident it will always be one of my very favourites. I hope that you decide to give it a chance, and have as touching an experience as I did.
