Film review of Warren Miller's "Flow State"

Breathtaking and funny entertainment with Warren Miller's "Flow State"

by Hanna Finkel 12/11/2012
"Flow State" is now the 63rd Warren Miller ski film and - it's hard to believe - actually something special and new once again. Even after so many Warren Miller ski films, the film team still doesn't seem to have run out of ideas in the snow. On the contrary. This year's Warren Miller "Flow State" ski film is once again causing euphoria among freeski and snowboard enthusiasts.

"Flow State" is now the 63rd Warren Miller ski film and - it's hard to believe - actually something special and new once again. Even after so many Warren Miller ski films, the film team still doesn't seem to have run out of ideas in the snow. On the contrary. This year's Warren Miller "Flow State" ski film is once again causing euphoria among freeski and snowboard enthusiasts. Last winter season, the filmmakers around Warren Miller once again came up with some special chapters for the script for this year's ski film "Flow State". Both the filmmakers and the skiers together focused even more on funny entertainment. It is therefore quite possible that during "Flow State" one or two joyful laughs will echo through the various cinemas in Europe. This ski film has plenty of funny scenes and amused smirks in store, making for 100 minutes of really good entertainment.

The official trailer for the film

If, for example, his talent for freeskiing hadn't been enough, COLBY WEST would probably have become a comedian. During his shoot on the Kitzsteinhorn, the crew on set had plenty to laugh about. When big mountain skiing in Alaska, however, even world-class alpine skiers such as TED LIGETY and MARCUS CASTON reach their limits and are taken by the hand by freeride pro PHIL MEIER. While some of them get really small (and loud) on the highest and most impressive mountains, the two young guns TOBY MILLER (12) and ASPEN SPORA (11) skip school on a fresh snow day in Northstar, California, and venture high up in clothes and over obstacles that are actually much too big for them. Their comments, which are still a long way from breaking their voices, are extremely charming and entertaining. Flashbacks to the colorful and stylish (???) eighties with excerpts from the ski ballet and elegant mogul skiing round off the entertainment program of "Flow State". One seriously wonders whether one or two Americans are still stuck in the synthesizer and pastel color era! As the title suggests, the new Warren Miller ski film is all about this "flow state" when skiing. It doesn't matter how old you are, where you are, whether you're racing, freeriding or snowboarding: This feeling of weightlessness, packed with euphoria and endorphins, sets in just by watching and contemplating the impressive footage and breathtaking landscapes. So if you're still lacking that last spark of inspiration and motivation for this year's winter season, you should definitely sit down in your nearest movie theater and watch the new "Flow State"! The Warren Miller film tour "Flow State" runs until the end of December in selected cinemas in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
