Pros: Breathtaking scenes of natural world · Kecak dance · editing · music Cons: Some similarities in subject matter & techniques to Koyaanisquatsi
Among many possible ways to view Baraka, Ron Fricke's nonverbal film, only one beats watching it on an open-air big screen on the greens from a beanbag, complete with in-person Fricke introduction. Setting: evening at the meticulously manicured ...
Pros: This movie will move you. Cons: No "plot" per se.
I remember when I saw Baraka for the first time, I was so stupefied that I didn't even know what to think. I just watched agape. Now that I've come to own it on videotape, and I've seen it a few more times on the big screen, and now that I've had the...
Baraka has been one of my favorite films since I first saw it in 1996. It's a visually amazing film, with a beautiful and powerful soundtrack. It's rather unusual in that there are no actors or dialog -- it's imagery and music is blended from around...
Pros: 70mm, Digital Sound Cons: Probably does not have mass appeal
With incredible visuals following in the tradition of Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, and Naqoyqatsi, Baraka not only takes our minds on a journey, but our souls as well.
Accompanying the awesome footage is an amazing soundtrack produced by David...
Pros: A meditation on the state of our home planet. Cons: Some will consider it manipulative of our emotions.
This film is a meditation on the current state of our planet.
It is moving and at the same time thought provoking. One moment you experience the beauty of our home world, the next you see what our careless actions have done.
Pros: Excellent use of color, sound, and movement of global culture and environment. Cons: No dialog or storyline, though the film does have meaning in it.
Baraka is essentially about how movement affects our lives as well as the environment around us. This movement is not limited to simple physical movement, but also spiritual, mental, and change over time.
The cinematography and sound are both...
Pros: Stunning imagery of humanity. Wordlessly deeply moving. Cons: None I can think of. Honestly.
A co-worker at work thought I would like this movie and suggested I see it. The movie is stunningly beautiful. The lingering images of people's faces from all over the world are incredible. Rather than being images on film, they seem to be...
Pros: A videotape record of this masterpiece is better than no record at all. Cons: This 70mm gem is not yet released on DVD, and is rarely shown in theaters.
If there ever was a movie that needed to be released on DVD, this is it. If you ever have the opportunity to see this film projected on a large screen, jump at it. Even on video, however, this film is a must see for the cinematic connoisseur. Ron...
