Novelist Paul Auster, was caught in a deadIy storm as a teenager, anchors the film, sprirituaIist Dannion Brinkley asks provocative questions, and improvisationaI musician Fred Frith demonstrates the harmony of electricity in our bodies and in the universe. VisualIy dazzIing and aurally seductive, Act Of God captures the harsh beauty of the skies and the Iives of
those who have been forever touched by their fury. |
