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

- Gold-worthy
It is one thing to be introduced to artist Andy Goldworthy via the numerous books about him and his art, but the DVD showing him in action constructing these works adds a memorable dimension and insight as to how he goes about creating these works. We've shared both the DVD and books wiht friends and relatives in design and creative fields who all agree that this is inspiring stuff.

Fascinating and worth every penny. Andy Goldsworthy is a very special artist-he makes us look at stuff we can see everyday but never noticed...
Rating: - Andy Goldsworthy
Great video of a great artist. This is a DVD that you can give as a gift to anyone because his art takes in a whole world of materials and from the start of his creations to the ending us are amazed.
Rating: - Zen and the Art of Andy Goldsworthy
One of the most honest documentaries ever made. A brief walk through the life of this brilliant artist we see a man driven by his work.Without pretension or pomposity here is a simple man who creates art out of the canvas of our planet because he has too.
Directed brilliantly you get to know Andy Godsworthy's art more intimately than you never imagined possible.
This is a haunting and meditative film that will make you smile and bring tears to your eyes seeing the majesty ... Read More
Rating: - Absolutely magical!
This DVD gives a good look into the genius of Andy Goldsworthy. It's great to hear him think aloud about his works, which we see here as they're created and as they fade away with time.
