An interesting film exploring post-modern Utopianism
6 September 2008
While the film is likely most famous for using Pink Floyd for the soundtrack (Obscured by Clouds), this French film (w/ English subtitles) is quite thought provoking if you take the time to understand what the director is trying to say to the audience. Plenty of Utopian idealism in the film, but it is balanced in the end by some interesting philosophical discussions.

Character development is good albeit a bit dated to late 1960's Hippie culture. Excellent cinematography by Néstor Almendros in remote Papua New Guinea. A really good film for a university French film course. Editing was somewhat disjointed at parts, but this may have been due to the version I was able to see. Try searching for it on the internet if you want to watch it.
