Morning of the Earth (1972)
An Absolute Must-See Classic
30 July 2010 - 9 out of 11 users found this review helpful.
Transcends its genre. Shot on gorgeous 16mm film, this is a one-of-a-kind meditation on the beauty of the earth through the lens of surfing. Looking back from 2010 with the industry's obsession with sponsorships, competitions and tricks, this film now seems a powerful echo from a different era. All the corruptive layers fall away and the viewer is invited into the mesmerizing spectacle of humans balanced on the edge of powerful oceanic forces in between living simply in the woods and building their own surfboards. The soulful original soundtrack is the icing on the cake, and reinforces the notion of surfing as no mere sport, but rather an art, a dance, and an attitude towards life.
