This Movie and this music are wonderful

I just saw this movie as part of the Athens International Film Festival, at which I am on the jury for musical films. I was wonderfully impressed, both by the stunning, spiritual music and the celestial scenery against which it is set.

I was particularly impressed by the extra-terrestrial singing of Christian Zehnder, whose vocalise incorporates yodeling, overtone singing and something not unlike scat singing as performed by energy beings or djinn.

I also had no idea that Swiss men wore crystal pendant earrings. Live and learn.

I came home right after the screening and bought the soundtrack cd at amazon.de.

I never do things like that.
