Rising young actress Clea Duvall stars in Wildflowers as Cally, a young woman who's grown up on a commune outside of San Francisco. Now 17, she finds herself drifting away from her father, who raised her alone after her mother abandoned them both. Cally sees Sabine (Daryl Hannah), a reckless artist, at a coffee shop and is instantly drawn to her restless energy, perhaps seeing in the Pre-Raphaelite beauty the wilder woman Cally wishes she could be. When Sabine accidentally leaves her journal behind one day, Cally uses it as an opening to enter Sabine's life and a friendship slowly develops--though Sabine resists growing close and is torn by unresolved feelings about a close friend who has just died. Bit by bit, Cally begins to piece together clues that suggest she and Sabine are closer than they had thought. Clea Duvall's broad, open face and natural presence effortlessly communicate both Cally's yearning infatuation with Sabine and her increasing alienation from the world she's always known. The supporting performances by Eric Roberts and Tomas Arana are carefully drawn, and the cinematography--especially scenes of the California seashore--are beautiful. Wildflowers slowly builds a compelling portrait of a young woman redefining herself. --Bret Fetzer

Meandering but likeable coming of age movie.......2002-05-15

Wildflowers is about 17-year-old Cally's search for her past. She was raised on a commune by hippies in the 1960's (the movie is set in 1985), and now she lives with her father. She's been told little about her mother, except that she had to leave Cally and her father because she got in trouble for her political activities. Cally becomes convinced that the woman she meets in San Francisco (Daryl Hannah) is her mother, and she tries to become friends with the woman. As she learns more about the woman and her father, she also begins to understand herself better. The story is simple and straight forward, and the style and acting are extremely low-key. Although the movie is not great by any standards, it is fairly likeable. Look fast for a quick appearance by Blue's Traveller. Overall, a very average small-budget film.

One Of The Few.......2002-04-08

This movie is one of the few done about the Counterculture of the 60's that gives an accurate feeling both of some of the people of that era nearly 20 years later and of the era itself. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand something of the 60's.

eYe-CaNDy FoR NoN THiNKeRS.......2002-03-03

Daryl Hannah and Clea Duvall were beautifully cast in a good intentioned story...but the script was lacking and predictable.
The shots were dreamily executed...so I'm giving it 3 stars. If Eric Roberts weren't in it and I had to think a little more, I'd have given it 4.5 stars. Eric Roberts TRUELY gives me the creeps!
Buy this used...or don't buy it at all.

Life as we only wish it was...........2002-02-14

I just saw this movie last night and was captivated enough to stay up until midnight on a weekday. It was visually beautiful, so much so that it's almost a fantasy. People live on boats, have gorgeous furniture and willowy, gauzy clothing, hang out in coffee shops, read poems in an eclectic bookstore and don't seem to have real jobs, responsibilities or school. Clea DuVall is excellent but as a 17 year-old you would think her dad might be more worried when she stays out all night and doesn't come home for days. No one else mentioned that Eric Roberts (who is gorgeous and about 20+yrs. older than her) has an intimate encounter w/her - did this bother anyone else but me? This is one of those movies you get lost in because it's so wonderfully unrealistic and you dream about life being that carefree and beautiful...then the dog barks, the phone rings, your kids start fighting, etc. Why can't we all sleep on the ocean beach, hike in beautiful deserted pastures in CA, sleep with gorgeous older men, have a fascinating hip mom to get drunk with? It kind of left me unsatisfied with my existence, but that's another story...

Three Desert Wildflower Films together on One DVD!

Season of the Sand Blossoms (Gold Medal Award Winner for Nature and Wildlife, 2006 Houston Film Festival) and Desert Gold (an official selection of the 2006 Napa-Sonoma Wine Country Film Festival and 2006 Vermont International Film Festival) capture that magical time when wildflowers bloom in an immense and little-appreciated land.

Season of the Sand Blossoms is a spectacular film set to music with sweeping views, and delicate close-ups, which puts viewers eye level with the flowers, butterflies, birds and wildlife that thrive during the desertÂ's brief, abundant Spring. The DVD includes an alternative version of the film which has subtitles that identify the flowers and animals shown.

Deserts are often considered wastelands. The casual traveler speeds through them and sees little to dispute this notion. In reality, deserts are waiting for the right conditions to burst forth and reveal a spectacular world of color and life. Desert Gold travels through the Southwest to tell the desert wildflowers' life story. Scientists and Native American tradition-keepers explain how and why the desert blooms and how desert plants can survive decades of drought yet still know when to flower. Desert Gold traces the relationships among flowers, insects, birds and mammals as partners in a web of life that reaches far beyond the desert and explores the implications of human incursion on these magnificent, yet fragile lands. The role of wildflowers in the lives and traditions of Native Americans is featured.

Beautiful photography. DVD includes a lovely virtual tour of the southwest deserts in bloom set to music. The second item on the DVD is a well narrated story about the southwest desert phenomena of wildflower blooms. Focus is the Mohave Desert.
