This movie belongs to a class of movies, obscured by time, which are more portraits than stories. They seem to be made by people without any particular cinematic talent, just a desire to put free love on the screen. The Valley portrays a life of free love and tropical travel. The plot, while present, takes its time advancing. Viewers of a good movie feel attached to the characters, hope anxiously that they do or receive what they should. We felt more attached to the bit characters and spent more time hoping that more Pink Floyd music would reach our ears than that the characters would reach the valley. The soundtrack (Obscured By Clouds) is well worth purchasing, though.
