Movie Reviews of Illuminated Manuscripts
Movie Review: This is an amazing accomplishment
Summary: 5 Stars
I almost don't know where to begin. I bought this a year ago and love it. I want to watch it again and again. As an artist and musician, I appreciate the hard work that went into this. It's a quality product and it is just astonishing. You are drawn in to an enjoyable, ecstatic experience that is alternately mystifying and breathtaking. Swirling colors spiral and form an old wooden door... a forest transforms into a temple... a Buddha statue sits serenely... a tree morphs into a double helix... alchemical symbols dance and form a Dr. John Dee merry-go-round. The production quality is excellent, and even the titles are beautiful. The ambient tracks are just as good too, as are the moving "stills". Keep an eye out for a scene we like to call "Elvish has left the building." :-) When you see it, you'll know what I mean.
