Michael Pilz's Heaven and Earth is an epic documentary in two parts about life in the Styrian mountain village of St. Anna. The film is a documentary in the best sense of the word - a meditation on time, on nature and the struggles of man, as well as a record of a lifestyle ceasing to exist. If you let it happen, the film will pull you into its cosmos; it is one of those works that teaches you to see and listen again. (Ulrich Gregor, 1983)
