Product Description ------------------- Just in time for St. Patricks Day, this aerial tour in high-definition presents the Emerald Isle from the soaring perspective of the faeries. Flying above the wondrous beauty of Giants Causeway and the windswept Cliffs of Moher, through famously green country glens and charming fishing ports, down into bustling cities and serene historic ruins, this travelogue features stunning views, informative narration, and an evocative soundtrack of Celtic music. As the seventh title in a series with proven sellthrough power and public television exposure, Visions of Ireland has a primed market. .com ---- Visions of Ireland wastes no time with interviews or anything but glancing anecdotes about history; this is the pure eroticization of landscape, be it rural or urban. A camera suspended from a helicopter provides a serene, gliding bird's-eye view of rolling green hills, majestic brusk cliffs, proud stone towers, stirring cathedrals, and picturesque ruins. As this lush scenery rolls past, a woman's musical Irish lilt tells tales of St. Patrick, legendary giants, kings, monks, and of course the Blarney Stone, all backed with Irish jigs and Celtic strings. It's shameless self-promotion, and anyone who watches will feel an overwhelming urge to run to the computer and buy tickets for the next flight to the Emerald Isle. From the forbidding, isolated Skellig Islands to the bustling cities of Belfast and Dublin, Ireland looks entrancing. The main program is roughly an hour, but there's around 18 minutes of additional footage that is every bit as luscious and verdant, including some idyllic s of sheep jumping over a low stone wall. --Bret Fetzer
