Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ron Fricke, the cinematographer on the trippy Koyaanisqatsi, made this similarly impressionistic, dialogue-free photo exhibition come to life. Shot in 24 countries and at all sorts of locations (ancient temples, Auschwitz, a chicken-processing plant), the film attempts to make a subconscious or poetic point about the relationship between living creatures (particularly humans) and their environments. It's a breathtaking Herculean effort, but it is also opaque in meaning and probably best appreciated by viewers already in an incoherent state. Worse, the film loses much of its intended magic on video. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com


Product Description

A visually stunning film shot over 13 months, in 24 countries; Baraka is an overwhelming experience that spans the geographical, cultural and social diversity of our changing planet. Set to an atmospheric soundtrack inspired by various rituals and nature itself, the film captures the very essence of man's relationship with the earth, both harmonious and catastrophic. Baraka is a journey of rediscovery. It is the power, the beauty and the rage of life itself. It is the world we live in.

5.0 out of 5 stars If ever DVD was invented for a movie..., 7 Nov 2001
This review is from: Baraka [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
Perfect! If you enjoyed Koyannisqatsi then this is an absolute must. It is that film made much much better. How? First of all, it is shot on 70mm not 35mm so there quality is multiplied by four. Secondly, motion control tracking was used, which means that all those clever speeded up pieces of film now get to move at the same time. Thirdly, the cameraperson/director just got better at his art. EVERY shot in this movie is a piece of artwork. It is that amazing. Of course, if you are wanting plot and drama you will have to look elsewhere. What holds this film together is awe. Everytime a new shot appears it is like opening a new christmas present and wondering what is inside, gradually peeling off the layers until you see it. If you want to see the world in all its extremes, to see the beauty in Peru, India, Indonesia and pretty much everywhere, you just got to see this movie. Cannot be recommended high enough.

By A Customer
This review is from: Baraka [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
BARAKA is an ancient Sufi word used by mystics to define man's inter-Connectedness to the universe. It simply translates as the breath Or essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds.Anther meaning is bless. This is a unique documentary filmed in 70mm film . Dazzling landscapes, curious people, fantastic creatures. A must see for all the nature enthusiasts. You will be amazed.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW.....what a beauty!, 20 May 2006
By words with wonder (Huddersfield, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baraka [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
I felt like one well walked elephant after watching this film! It never fails to captivate the eye and ear; using visuals and music only it takes you on a journey around the tips of the world and back.

You can see that Fricke has almost put his life into the cinematography which will endlessly take you closer to the edge of you seat, with every shot revealing a new and astounding outlook of this beautiful world. I have never felt such an array of emotions from a single movie! From sand desserts to forests, waterfalls volcanoes and sky, people at prayer to people at war; each shot is uniquely precious with a character of its own.

The music is elegantly wrapped around the visuals; sounding similar to God Speed You Black Emperor and Explosions In The Sky, which alone would take you on a journey of a lifetime. This inspired soundtrack adds the extra dimension to the stunning photography.

I would recommend you find the biggest TV and the best sound system, turn up the volume shut the curtains and swell into your surroundings; never to return.
