Fabulous - Innovative - Amazing Tale, 24 July 2007
10/10
Author: lgarrick-1 from United States

I found this movie completing inspiring. The director did a magnificent job of blending visual metaphors for sound throughout.

This is a documentary about the only woman percussionist who happens to have a 90 percent hearing loss. She uses her body to sense the slightest movement in sound waves and creates amazing rhythms, sounds and melodies.

Don't expect a quick start, but hang in there, this is rich, rich film, full of wisdom about the senses, sound, music and life. Definitely not for someone interested in the usual musical documentary or superficial treatment of a topic.
