InnSaei: The Power of Intuition

Filmmakers Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir and Kristin Olafsdottir embark on a global journey in this somewhat unfocused documentary about a theme that is inherently subjective in nature: the role of intuition in our lives. Starting with the premise that our ever-escalating information culture is evolving humans away from intuitive ability, the directors pursue multiple definitions of intuition from various angles. An expert in neuroscience defines the left brain/right brain divide between our analytical and intuitive powers, noting that the latter could actually shrink over time if that part of the brain goes unused. Performance artist Marina Abramovic says the only way to really create something original is to let intuition take over and explore the unknown. Spiritual leaders, educators, and others add their voices to the conversation, but while some of the core ideas make sense here, InnSaei can't quite make a unified, coherent case with a clear trajectory, and it suffers some from redundancy. Extras include deleted scenes and bonus interview footage. A strong optional purchase. Aud: C, P. (T. Keogh)
