Sanctuary: Lisa Gerrard
Sanctuary is the first documentary film on the life and work of Lisa Gerrard. Made over the course of a year, it is an intimate portrait of an artist who shares some of her deepest and most creative and emotional insights on all aspects of her life and career. The film illustrates Lisa's connection with nature but also the essence of her music and singing as strong spiritual expression. Each section talks about the different components of Lisa's career: her beginnings with the formation of the Dead Can Dance group with Brendan Perry in the '80s, her film solo career, the reformation of Dead Can Dance for a world tour in 2005 and aspects of her family life which support and influence her work. Also including interviews with Lisa Gerrard, Michael Mann, Russell Crowe, Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson Williams, Niki Caro, Graeme Revell, Pietro Scalia, Mark Magidson, Brendan Perry and more.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This film much like this comment is for fans of Lisa Gerrard. This DVD is a career spanning retrospective on the woman and her awe-inspiring voice. It touches on current events such as media and their role in the world, war, and of course music. Lisa talks about her life very candidly. From Dead Can Dance, her work in films, the death of her brother, when she was young, etc... As well, there are around a dozen or so interviews with other people who have had the privilege to work with her throughout her career. While it does seem to be a little long winded at times, all the info included is relevant and does have significant meaning in the big picture. Visually, everything is high class. Images seem to leap off the screen. From the main menu, opening credits, even the production company logo is eye candy. The director of this documentary is most definitely a fan of Lisa and has done everything in his power to represent her sound with visual. Job well done. Bonus features include the director talking about the film,photo gallery,a beautiful discography with pictures and track listings, as well as a new music video from Silver Tree. I highly recommend this film for fans of Lisa and her introspective music. Also recommended: Dead Can Dance: Toward the Within DVD performance.Cromwell Damuuga
