    This film has moved me very much. It is one of these rare movies that is not only for entertainment while watching it. No, it remained with me for many days. I cannot put in words what exactly has touched me so much but my heart and my soul were nourished by this film.

    This movie is not just a movie, it is story telling par excellence. I've read the screenplay and was in shock how careful and perfect words can be picked and what every single line was able to evoke in my mind and also sensually. I've seen the movie several times and will never ever get tired of watching it. Every time seeing it the different layers of the story bring me to different places and let me notice different things - not only about the movie itself - about my own life, my longings, dreams and believes. Where ever I stand at the moment, this movie has to tell me something. (Sounds weirded? Yes, maybe. And: this is my experience!) Can't wait for the directors DVD set to come out to finally see the deleted scenes and subplots. If you are interested in life, the nature of human beings, quantum physics, philosophy, religion, and the big questions in life, this movie is definitely a must see and you will personally benefit from entering its world.

    I feel the need to thank Dominique De Fazio , the whole cast for this Human masterpiece that I'd give 110 Oscar , while imagining that in this "Poor Artistic Reality of this Time" , perhaps, the Oscar, it will not be a award for "Dancing on a dry salt lake "but , I strongly hope that it will happen. Since the beginning of the film I was captured by the incredible natural rhythm , the tangible spontaneity of Actors , the very careful choice of the Director of creating in the set, the Stage of Life. A true message of true salvation for all of humanity , where the special effects natural , constantly present ( no actor knows what's going to happen , so , as in real life ) are able to offer a passport for the " Beauty of life " so as to be fully , in good or bad times , selfishness or generosity .......................................... I wish you all, the vision of " Dancing on a dry salt lake " , to feel guided , enlightened by this small , great journey .... , our journey .

    A film full of hope. The cleanest what I ever saw. Not just the content, even the editing, the acting, the story. A film which gives me my human nature back. The special of this film is: it makes me whole just watching. The future of the film industry, for people who looking for more in their live. I can follow. It slowed me down in this creasy quick world what most has imprecise to follow. What a courage to make this theme in a movie- the true meaning of live.

    The movie is a unique blend of mysticism, science, comedy, drama and romance for all ages. This bricolage works well to tell a story about a NASA cosmologist searching for meaning in the universe and within his life. Interesting concepts in regards to the Big Bang are conveyed in the beginning, but the film becomes more about Werner's journey through the desert as he is introduced to a group of artists and a native (Aldred Montoya) who share the rich history of the surrounding land. Barry Livingston and Suzanne Snyder also have major roles, which help drive the film. The acting of De Fazio is inspiriting. Dancing on a Dry Salt Lake is about personal and universal discovery, and the solitude found within Mother Nature. With Carlos Nakai's music and the sweeping desert landscapes, you are sure to be transported on a journey through enlightenment

    Dancing on a Dry Salt Lake is poetic and full of truth. It is a film full of humor and humanity, with acting as clean and pure as the desert. In a rare way, the acting reveals the unseen richness of simple moments with uncommon lightness. Writer/Director Dominique De Fazio gives to this project sounds, pacing, and rhythms that keep us glued to the what is about to happen next. "How can we hear, what the universe wants to say, if we are only listening for what we want to know?" is what the character Warner says in the film. This film is for those who wish to follow the journey of one who ponders that question. And, this film has stayed in my heart long after leaving the movie theater..
