Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers & Tides

Great movie - I used it in my fifth grade classroom and they loved it!

Andy Goldsworthy is an amazing sculptor and if you have any affection for art I think you will enjoy this video both visually and for the things he says about how he works. He is a truly inspiring artist. So why, why, WHY did the publisher release this in a panned & scanned format instead of the full wide screen format in which it was originally shot? So sad! The world deserves better than this. They don't even bother to show the full screen during the credits at the end, so some of them are undecipherable. It looks like the 2-disc set is also P&S. That's so unfair to the filmmakers as well as to everyone who buys it.

In addition to artist, sculptor and naturalist, Andy Goldsworthy is a pied piper. I purchased this for my grandchildren, ages 7, 9, and 11. They were (as I was) enthralled. Watched over and over, we never tire of it.

There are two kinds of people that will see this video. One will think it's interesting. The other will find their perspective has changed completely.

An artist unlike any you've ever seen. He creates works with and from nature, and understands that everything has a limited lifetime. He creates beautiful works, even though he knows they are transitory - although his stone walls may last for quite a while. I've seen those walls, and they're quite an amazing thing. If you like unique, individual works of art, you really need to see this video. He may be the most different, and maybe even the most important artist of our time.
