I first saw this film as a kid; It got etched in my memory so profoundly that after 20+ years I would still remember it fondly. Not memories, but images and feelings of awe. For years I didn't even know the name of the film (mini-series); All I knew was "Jordan" and the "Singing Mountain". And the haunting leitmotivs!

And then one day I decided to track it down - And what a movie it was! It's a unique experience, a mysterious world that I tasted last when I played Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis or when I read the book of MYST and watched the original stargate - A SciFi-Fantasy romance, one of those rare things that has the power to carry you to some alternate reality, not overly complicated, but inspiring and beautiful - even now, I couldn't help feeling sucked in to the naively romantic world of my childhood!

Highly recommended!

I keep an eye on the works of this young director; this is by far the most mature work of his, moving away from the amateur movie-making roots of his work. The director throughout his work pays homage to b-horror-movies, Rock and director Quentin Tarantino; and this is something visible here too, only on a whole new level. The actors give life to the characters and the cinematography is fairly decent for a low budget semi-amateur film and with careful choices the director made best use out of the available resources. While short and minimalistic in it's execution , there is room for a storyline and the viewer is rewarded with a nice twist in the end, that also serves to connect stylistically this work of his with all previous ones. Overall the director Jim Pemmas has gone a long way with this film, has avoided most pitfalls and has delivered an interesting film that one may enjoy watching.
