In an abandoned theater, French actress Marina Vlady recites from Borges' "The Immortal"... Japanese research scientist Shin Kubota sings praises to the "immortal jellyfish"... Milan Duomo workers subject the cathedral's exquisite statues to perpetual regeneration... Swiss musician/inventors Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer persistently refine their percussion instrument, the Hang... Native American community leaders Leola One Feather and Moses Brings Plenty preserve the centuries-old spiritual resistance of their tribe... Filmmakers Massimo D'Anolfi and Martina Parenti pay tribute to humankind's aspirations for immortality by showing us a portrait of our efforts to overcome our own limits. They share their discoveries in a visual symphony to the power and harmony of nature's elements: water, earth, air and fire. From Milan to Wounded Knee, USA, from Bern to Shirahama, Japan, the traces of the filmmakers' travels spiral into a symbol of perfection and infinity: Spira Mirabilis.
使用米兰大教堂修复,发明乐器,久保田申,伤膝河大屠 杀,博尔赫斯层层拼贴。拐弯抹角地证明一个人尽皆知又模棱 两可的命题,可圈可点却异常臃肿
声音设计非常出彩，但是有点摸不到逻辑，两个多小时，都是非常好的纪录片素材，很适合放空，如果真的仔细看，有时候实在太疑惑了，尽管我猜不是故意要让观众看不懂的
威尼斯退场人数最多的一部竞赛片，画面确实很美，可是拍两小时的意义何在呢……本来就没什么台词，你要么有个清晰的逻辑，要么有视觉交响的韵律，仅靠什么人类探索突破啦，水气土火元素啦（何况还看不出来），这些不明所以的概念并不能使人打起精神撑到最后啊喂。
前90分钟的纪录影像冗长但却不乏味，从小喜欢看Discovery的优势尽显。后半小时完美，当那个护士敲起乐器为早产儿演奏的时候，浑身鸡皮疙瘩。
意识流大电影 开了二倍速还是浪费了人生中的一小时
