I first saw this film in New York, at the Nomadic Museum. I remember walking down the long hallway of the museum, curious to see what was at the end, where a group of people had gathered. Even though the movie lasted for almost 60 minutes, I stood in a crowd two times to watch it. I didn't even notice that I had been standing for so long! This is a film about love, about passion, and about kindness. Every time I watch it, I think of all of the people and places that I have felt a fondness for in my life. I think of my first love, my first kiss. I remember all of the most precious moments in my life.I highly recommend this movie to everyone. I promise that you will be crying within five minutes of seeing the film.

Ashes and Snow is a love letter to his beloved written on a film that unfolds a legacy of beauty in timeless moments. The photography and underwater filming demonstrates the excellence of the arts and craft at work and artist is both Nature and co-existent man. The poetic wall of sound and song blending in the pictorial landscape slows time making it stand still as the motion becomes e-motion. Gregory Colbert has created a work of art in the truest sense of the word. There is an earnestness in the quiet voice reaching out to stop the clock to somehow hold time as he presents the gift of his soul's eye. He asks her to burn the letters upon the snow and read the song upon his heart. Oh that each of us/those viewing would have an abiding love to create such a masterpiece.

What a piece of Art! a real masterpiece. That was the first thing i said after watching this film, i even paused a lot of times just to enjoy the beauty of the shot in front of me. To me; it's a film about life or the world as i would like it to be, it really takes you away from all the chaos, the traffic, the rush and all what's forming our modern life as we know it, and puts you in a piece of heaven, giving u an insight on how humans can live bound to other creatures in harmony, real harmony and how it really feels like to be free and really enjoying the beauty of this world. i so can't wait to see Gregory Colbert's new film.

I watched the movie. I saw the show (the "nomadic" museum). I can see how this might appeal to some people but to me it seemed that the animals were unwilling or unwitting participants and the spirituality aspect was contrived. The human models or dancers always had their eyes closed, as though in prayer or meditation, while putting themselves in ridiculous, often uncomfortable, sometimes dangerous situations. The music and the sepia tones created the mood but were this in color with live sounds it would be a mockery of art. Of course, one might argue that this *is* art and belief should be suspended, but some of these animals seem so distressed that it proved impossible for me to get into.I know many find this film moving and beautiful. I just found it disturbing.
