Simply Perfect

One of my all time favorites.

Fresh and Exciting

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

... but it's entertaining. Roy Blount's sense of humor is sardonic and generally very dry -- unlike his subject, ba-DUM-bum! Some of the photography is absolutely gorgeous... until the Mighty Mississippi starts getting industrialized and heavily polluted, long about St. Louis. For those of us who live near-enough-to-be-interested, yet far-enough-not-to-see-it-regularly, it's a must-see documentary. Recommended!
