      Audience Member In terms of its ethnographic content and cinematography, this is a wonderful movie, but it doesn't have much of a plot to keep you interested along the way, and the acting can be pretty wooden at times. If this is the kind of film you like, check out Birds of Passage, which is by the same director and, in my opinion, much better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely slow, with no real plot behind and the trailer was completely misleading Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Serge L Long film but travelling through fabulous countryside, meeting nice people, having an adventure. This kind of film is enticing to travel further and learn another language. Featuring Columbia. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/18 Full Review dave j Tuesday, April 22, 2014 (2009) The Wind Journeys (In Spanish with English subtitles) SPIRITUAL DRAMA If you've seen and liked "The Devil And Daniel Webster" then this movie is something of that nature- that and "The Straight Story" since it's like the "Daniel Webster" of accordions in the spiritual kind of way. Written and directed by Ciro Guerra starring Marciano Martínez as accordion traveller, Ignacio Carrillo while riding on top of a donkey to return his accordion back to the original owner. He gets followed by an ambitious teenager, Fermin Morales (Yull Nunez) who throughout the movie sometimes steals parts of the movie as he aids and helps help Ignacio to complete this objective. Fermin's main motivation is to learn how to play the accordion instrument, but what he get instead is what viewers get, which is the customs and practices of accordion music as a result of their travelling. This movie may be too slow to some viewers as we're showed some gorgeous looking landscapes throughout the regions. 3 out of 4 stars Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member slow languid like the road it takes place on good stuff Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Hermosamente filmada,de fotografía bellísima,... Una historia de heroísmo secreto, de orgullos sagrados, de relaciones complejas. Revela poco a simple vista mas esconde un tesoro precioso tesoro disfrazado de Caribe.
