Jon Gudmundsson ... Through the years i've seen movies which have impressed me in a way where i got a feeling that there were intelligent movie makers out there, saying and doing something relevant. Movies like; Harold & Maude, Catch-22, Bad Boy Bubby, Nashville, And the ship sails on, Last exit to Brooklyn... were like that to me. But when I saw those movies again some 10-15 years later, none of them was that impressive anymore... Now i've seen LPCI two times, first in 1999 and now 7 years later. It's impact on me was the same on both viewings.It is the most human and least pretentious movie iv'e seen. It has the purest aesthetics mixed with the most honest philosophy, i've witnessed in any art. It reveals the essence of man in the universe, in a way which is unabsorbed by trivialities. It is very relevant, very humble and very beautiful, and I think it has a potential of curing stupidity.
Johnny Vinther Jensen (prometheus-dk) The first third of this film, thrilled me. I was piqued by the connections the directors made between song, dance, religion and ecstasy. But gradually it began to irritate me that the makers apparently couldn't see beyond their own New Age eco-narcissism. Step by step the movie becomes a political manifesto and most of the good intentions go to waste. It is still a very interesting film and despite its shortcomings in image quality, it should be viewed by anyone who liked Baraka.
oddjobrod A beautiful, perfectly edited ethnographic film that fills you with joy and sorrow and makes you want to change yourself and your world. Great tunes composed by the Swedish crew who break new ground with their non-linear sound/narration/music combinations.
shiut-2 A movie that beats you, right in your mind. It lets you think things over. You see in this film why the "beat of life" is that important. At the first side it is a religious and philosophic documentary, at the other side it is an art movie that mixes samples of music, words and pictures and all that in a real rhythmic and musical sound. But also the stills are great filmed.I like this film very much, because I like DJ Music (and this is like a more serious party, where a DJ also mixes Images), because the People are very interesting and it is excellent filmed.I'm now 16, but I think those who are as old as I, don't like this movie because it is long time very quiet and it is not like I thought always action and music. I would recommend it to all who like great stills, electronic or rhythmic music, good documentaries and to those who are bored of all the normal movies. For those who expect Action or Comedy it isn't to good, though it have both in a way implemented, but not very usual. I'd call it: "cool dj avant-garde art documentary"If you want something new and cool
