“China.” Paramount. $29.95. Painterly images of China’s landscapes and people are set to mellow, gentle music from Windham Hill. This is China of the spirit, a peaceful and gorgeous place of waterfalls, sunsets, lakes and faces. Producer Dann Moss and Windham Hill’s cameras capture the rhythm of urban cyclists and rural workmen, the simplicity of women embroidering, men sawing and rolling logs, ordinary people reading, playing cards and riding trains. Visually as rich and diverse as the country it captures on film, “China” unfolds one unforgettable image after another. It is difficult to imagine many better ways to spend 55 minutes.
