Subject: “Namaste” is a simple and pure film. It is highlighted by fleeting encounters with graceful native dancer, her eyes rimmed in khol and her movements, noblå and uncluttered, conveying the unreal and elusive. Like her, in her skiing, Dominique – voted Best Freeride Skier of the Century – applies himself with Zen-like concentration, extracting the essence of his art. The choice of the Himalayas matches his high-alttitude ski style, bespeaking heights somewhat less acrobatic than in kamasutra! Indeed, at the heights where Dominique skis, there is no room for the superfluous, but only the all-consuming search for harmony and balance.
