1 GIANT LEAP (2002)

Certification18 Our Rating

A hit and miss affair which flits frantically from pretention to mildly diverting and back again. 1 Giant Leap is a new take on the Baraka/Koyaanisqatsi kind of film, showing 'highlights' of life on earth, lobbing in some philosophy and popular culture to keep the Red Bull generation interested. Highlights include the ever-sharp insights of Kurt Vonnegut, dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson and some truly inspired visuals. The downside is the same as with most of these macroscopic attempts to show the find out more...

Certification15 Our Rating

A very deliberate and well crafted document, marking Nick Cave’s 54.79^th birthday.

This consists of a deejay chasing the band through their Australian tour. Not exactly thick with storyline, it is however, done with self-depreciating humour and a dabble of panache. find out more...
