One Giant Leap (2001)
Director: Jamie Catto, Duncan Bridgeman
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Think David Byrne and Brian Eno's 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts' LP and you'll perhaps have a handle on this uncategorisable documentary from musician/producers Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman. Punctuated by famous quotations, this beautifully shot and edited film (an extended-edition DVD is available) meanders across continents, alighting on a selection of affecting statements from a host of memorable, worldly characters. It's all accompanied by a stream of eclectic and uplifting rhythmic music. A mesmerising, elating and thought-provoking meditation on the current state of humanity.Author: DA
