Description:
Wildly praised by the nation's top critics, the smash theatrical hit RIVERS AND TIDES is a mesmerizing, poetic and curiously contemplative portrait of revered Scottish sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, whose long-winding rock walls, icicle assemblages and other intricate, druidic masterpieces are made entirely of materials found in the wild.Gorgeously shot and edited by director Thomas Riedelsheimer, RIVERS AND TIDES is an intoxicating study of the fragile relationship between man, art and nature.
Amazon.com:
Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers and Tides is a truly beautiful, Scottish-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

Rating:  - life + change
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.
Rating: - Amazing
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.
Rating:  - A real story of the creative process
Just the most beautiful film about a an artist whose canvas and materials are nature.
Rating: - A personal look
The film maker's skill matches the sensitivity of Goldsworthy - - a seamless relationship. I watch this over and over. EVERY time, I see something that startles and wonder how I could have missed it before. In this way, the DVD is an ever renewing source of jolts... the best kind. It has also become something of a barometer of my own ability to SEE, to be in the moment. My tiny TV is in front of windows that look into the forest. I often have layers of nature in front of me, real and virtual. I hope ... Read More
Rating: - The Art of the Ephemeral
Andy Goldsworthy creates art that a 5-year old can understand, stacking rocks, arranging leaves, piling sticks, drawing in the snow.His "work" (as he keeps calling it) is simple in concept, but maybe not so simple to execute as well as he does.
And that is both the strength of it, and its downfall.The simplicity is unpretentious and pure in a way that art very rarely is, these days.At the same time it is fun and silly and unsophisticated in a way that makes Andy's serious pronouncements ... Read More
