Rivers & Tides (PG)

Director: Thomas Riedelsheimer
UK/Germany, 2002, 1 hour 30 minutes

Built primarily from icicles, twigs, rocks and leaves, the landscape sculpture of Andy Goldsworthy are usually so delicate that they are either swept away by the current, dispersed by the breeze or collapse under their own fragility. The ingenuity of their construction, the beauty of their settings and the inevitability of their reclamation by nature have been stylishly captured in this fascinating documentary that makes great use of time-lapse photography.

"Visually striking, sublimely tranquil and unashamedly life-affirming." - Empire
