Having visited the beautiful parks that Messiaen visited, and which inspired his music, I was looking forward to some connection between his music and what he way. Alas, I think the video detracted from the overall experience which could have been a lot more inspiring if some scenes of the West he visited were included. One can see trash dumps anywhere. The only part of the film I enjoyed was the time lapse showing the car being basically crushed. That took some time to get right!
