This is an interesting Swiss film, directed by Stefan Schwietert , which focuses on the lives/talents of three eccentric Swiss yodellers - Christian Zehnder, Erika Stucky, Noldi Alder. Zehnder and Stucky fall into the category of performance artists and their stories and performances could easily be in an Images Film Festival. This film had me thinking about how similar yodelling is to the chanting of monks be they asian or western: all very zen and quite hauntingly beautiful. This is a very well made, edited and directed film with some gorgeous scenes of Switzerland and while it slips three-quarters of the way thru with a bizarre performance by Stucky, all in all, me liked.
My rating 8 out of 10.
