As an art student in Paris, Christie Brinkley was approached by a photographer for a one-shot assignment that turned out to be a career-maker. This 44-minute Intimate Portrait, narrated by Brinkley's good friend Jill Rappaport, takes viewers from the supermodel's girlhood in Malibu with her brother, their beloved stepfather, and mother through her four marriages and astonishing career. Cooperating with this Lifetime effort are model agency owner Eileen Ford, agent Nina Blanchard, ex-husband Billy Joel, current husband Peter Cook, various friends, all immediate family members, and Brinkley herself. The result is a warm and detailed look at her triumphs--three Sports Illustrated swimsuit-issue covers in a row, the longest ever Cover Girl contract, a successful book and calendars, a! nd three happy children. At the same time, neither Brinkley nor the producers shy from discussing her trials: a near-fatal helicopter crash, the death of a cherished boyfriend, and three failed marriages. This comprehensiveness makes for a well-rounded portrait of one of today's more upbeat celebrities. --Kimberly HeinrichsHailed by audiences and critics around the world as mesmerizing (The Detroit News), this second installment of writer/director Godfrey Reggio's apocalyptic qatsi trilogy is quite simply one of the most magnificent visual and aural spectacles ever made (L.A. Daily News)! Combining stunning cinematography with the exquisite music of award-winning composer Philip Glass, Powaqqatsi is a breathtaking experience working on many levels'emotional, spiritual, intellectual andaesthetic (The Hollywood Reporter)! Bold, haunting and epic in scale, this extraordinary film calls into question everything we think we know about contemporary society. B! y juxtaposing images of ancient cultures with those of modern ! life, Po waqqatsi masterfully portrays the human cost of progress. It is a film that engages the soul as well as the mind; it is truly an absorbing experience (Movies on TV and Videocassette).Powaqqatsi, or "life in transformation," is the second part of a projected trilogy of experimental documentaries whose titles derive from Hopi compound nouns. The now legendary Koyaanisqatsi, or "life out of balance," was the first. Naqoyqatsi, or "life in war," once it obtains funding, will be the third. Powaqqatsi finds director Godfrey Reggio somewhat more directly polemical than before, and his major collaborator, the composer Philip Glass, stretching to embrace world music.

Reggio reuses techniques familiar from the previous film (slow motion, time-lapse, superposition) to dramatize the effects of the so-called First World on the Third: displacement, pollution, alienation. But he spends as much time beautifully depicting what various cultures have lost--coo! perative living, a sense of joy in labor, and religious values--as he does confronting viewers with trains, airliners, coal cars, and loneliness. What had been a more or less peaceful, slow-moving, spiritually fulfilling rural existence for these "silent" people (all we hear is music and sound effects) becomes a crowded, suffocating, accelerating industrial urban hell, from Peru to Pakistan. Reggio frames Powaqqatsi with a telling image: the Serra Pelada gold mines, where thousands of men, their clothes and skin imbued with the earth they're moving, carry wet bags up steep slopes in a Sisyphean effort to provide wealth for their employers. While Glass juxtaposes his strangely joyful music, which includes the voices of South American children, a number of these men carry one of their exhausted comrades out of the pit, his head back and arms outstretched--one more sacrifice to Caesar. Nevertheless, Reggio, a former member of the Christian Brothers, seems to maintain ho! pe for renewal. --Robert Burns Neveldine Christie Brink! ley: A t Moviestore we have an incredible library of celebrity photography covering movies, TV, music, sport and celebrity.
