Winged Migration
2003
France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the World

A stirring depiction of the idiosyncrasies, tenacity and ordeals of migratory birds. The filming is so intimate as to be nearly beyond belief and virtually guarantees the viewer an epiphany. I now stop dead in my shoes to crane my neck and track the skyward calligraphy of these brave aviators. Directed by Jacques Perrin.
