Vándormadarak

A földalatti járatok és a fű világa a Mikrokozmosz - Füvek népe című filmből a világ csodálatos természetére változott. Csak kár, hogy a filmben minden felvétel olyan rövid, és a legjobb felvételeket nem élvezhetjük úgy, mint a lassabb, simább és hipnotikusabb Világok arca: Baraka című filmben. Mindenesetre ezt a filmet nagyvásznon kell látni, és a jéghegy lezuhanása miatt legalább Dolby Digital-ban! (2002.07.08)

If only I had wings... Almost a hundred minutes of film of birds without any accompanying narration. In spite of this, Winged Migration isn’t boring for a second. Some scenes are in fact so charged with emotion that it would make the majority of movies green with envy. Although it lacks the pleasant satirical objectivity of Microcosmos, but even so it is a documentary that stays with you long after. Breathtaking shots that would be impressive even without the main subject - the birds. The unique filming technique sucks you in and you feel like you’re up there in the sky like one of the flock. In the company of many species you travel the world back and forth, accompanied by a phenomenal soundtrack that gives out pining tones during shots of a lone eagle, switching over to powerful chorals as flocks of birds thousands strong take off... Although you might not expect me to say this about a “mere" documentary, it would be an unforgivable sin not to see this on the best possible system with surround sound. (2005.05.16)
