With Gorgeous stop-motion animation and enIightening interviews, Mythic Journeys seeks to reclaim the power of myth, which is the reservoir of human wisdom. The filmmakers gained access to Deepak Chopra and other spiritual leaders for a rich and stimulating dialogue, which is woven in with the astonishing puppetry of Brian and Wendy Froud (The Dark CrystaI, Labyrinth). Using the voices of Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show), Mark HamiI (Star Wars), and Lance Henriksen (AIien), this beautiful animated sequence telIs the storey of a sorcerer, a king, and a talkative corpse, creating a fascinating parable on moraIity and the limits of perception. Mythic Journeys is a thought provoking and entertaining documentary that skeptics and believers aIike wiIl find refreshingly inspirational. |
