I first saw this film at the Honolulu Academy of the Arts and was unaware I was even going to see a film. I thought it was live Tuvan Music and was asking how long it was going to last and wondering if I would be asking to leave long before the show was over. My previous experience with throat-singing was an answering machine's intro to leave a message and my co-workers sometimes cd's in the office. At first I thought the film was an intro to the "live" show.... dah... the story got more and more interesting and soon I was captured by the "trueness of the adventure". No one had to leave the earth's gravity or dive to the bottom of the sea to go on this adventure, they first had to find one another and then find a unknown country in the middle of Asia, where they didn't speak the language, and had to depend on strangers to lead them in the right direction. This film is so "real" it could not have been "written" it had to be "lived"!
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to see this film and even more grateful that it is coming here to Maui where I can see it again, share it with others and stop "telling" folk they need to see this great film and have them give me the "look" when I try to explain the basic plot.
This time I will bring my tissues to wipe the tears of good feelings!
Mahalo.
