IN GOD'S HANDS
Aspect ratio: 2.39:1
Sound formats: Dolby Digital / SDDS
Three world-class surfers (played by real-life surfing champions Patrick Shane Dorian, Matt George and Matty Liu) travel to various far-flung corners of the globe in search of the 'ultimate wave', a spiritual adventure which ends in tragedy and redemption...
Best known for a series of po-faced softcore dramas (TWO-MOON JUNCTION, DELTA OF VENUS), director Zalman King here employs his unique, fractured film-making style to explore the spiritual dimension which underpins the sport of surfing. Anchored from the outset by Dorian's quiet dignity (his meditative non-performance allows the viewer to luxuriate in his exquisite beauty), the film is ignited by a succession of extraordinary sounds and images, culminating in spectacular - and often terrifying - surfing sequences. Non-surfers may wonder what all the fuss is about, though everyone else will be captivated by King's obvious reverence for the subject, and by the sheer physical beauty of the production. An ode to the wonders of Nature, and the silent calling which draws surfers to challenge its fury on some of the most awe-inspiring waves in the world.
