Air: Eating, Sleeping, Waiting and Playing - DVD Movie for Relaxation, Meditation & Home Entertainment

The first time I saw this documentary I simply loved it.I will be the first to admit, is is NOT your typical run of the mill "here is this band" type of documentary. Mike Mills uses odd camera movements, often venturing off of the subjects mid-speech and showing their environment, with no worries about crew members in the shot. The movement for me becomes almost transient much like that of a lava-lite... it sort of lulls you, puts you into a hypnotic state that makes the seemingly boring and arbitrary questions the most fascinating.A number of interviewees will tell the viewers whether or not they like McDonalds (often citing their favorite item on the menu), what kind of animal they would be, the importance of money, what they think of AIR (many of whom do not even know the band)... among a myriad of questions harpooned at AIR, whose slight language barrier often provides a comedic sort of sympathetic viewing experience.The documentary is entirely in black and white, which doesn't affect my viewing. I personally am a big fan of b/w, especially when juxtapozed against a band such as AIR, who typically seems to have a lot of vivid color in their sound and aesthetic.Finally I should say that I am not the biggest fan of AIR, but I still loved this documentary. I feel as though certain die-hard fans may not love it as much. Mills does ask a lot of personal questions to the band, often invading their hotel room or talking to them backstage or on the tour bus. We find out more about them through the live bandmates and AIR themselves... but the direction this documentary takes is much more of an avant-garde experimental documentary sort. I feel as though filmmakers would really appreciate this film for its unique qualities.Though I think that AIR is the perfect subject for a doc like this, I also feel that, like an episode of "Behind the Music", this could be about almost any band and it would be interesting.
