So much fuss has been made over Travis Rice and Curt Morgan’s movie “The Art of Flight” that it will be a wonder if the world at large thinks it lives up to it.
Morgan, the film’s director, has said repeatedly that he has been told that it is impossible to make a snowboard movie that makes sense to a mainstream audience and satisfies the tricky sensitivities of the “core” viewer, but he thinks it can be done. There will be vastly different opinions as to whether he succeeded, and this writer’s is only one.
I think Morgan succeeded — brilliantly.
