Grey Gardens / 1976 / Albert i David Maysles

Un poema de Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken, citat per una de les protagonistes, defineix molt bé el rerafons d'aquesta meravellosa pel·lícula.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Rivers and tides / 2001 / Thomas Riedelsheimer

Diu Andy Goldsworthy, el protagonista d'aquest documental, que la seva obra no és res més que una nova capa damunt la capa que la pròpia natura crea sobre la terra.

Aquest documental és, doncs, una altra capa (de cel·luloide en aquest cas) que ens permet gaudir de les obres d'aquest genial artista.
