I"ve been a fan of the Eno Apollo album since buying it around '84 on vinyl. Recently I bought the CD and for grins did a search to see if the movie ever appeared on DVD. Lo and behold here it is and it's been worth the wait. It is a very rare chance to hear astronauts in and out of space talking about their experiences as well as to see the incredible film, blown up from 16mm to 35mm and handled with extreme care and love. Director Reinart (who wrote the screenplay for Ron Howard's "Apollo 13") is a respectful and caring custodian of the grand Apollo missions. His exploration of the thousands of miles of film to bring us this magnificent work is nothing short of saintly. The music is haunting and finally with this DVD has a landscape to adorn. Highly recommended.
