"This splendid dvd comprises a 56-minute documentary about John Cage, shot in 1987, along with five experimental films ... Throughout the film Cage continues to tell stories, as he did, explaining his ideas, philosophies and working methods with great clarity, humility and humour ... All of the films on this dvd will appeal to the aficionado as well as those seeking an insight into the ideas and the music of one of the most adventurous, imaginative and innovative composers of our time".

"He clearly enjoyed talking to Scheffer and, even by Cage's standards, the juicy quotes come thick and fast ... My advice? Watch Ryoanji first [one of the] experimental films that Cage made towards the end of his life ... And marvel at how Cage unifies sound and image. The controversies are set to endure but the art speaks for itself".
