Breath Of Life
Review of Baraka (Wide Screen) by Kirsty1

Advantages: Unique.
Disadvantages: Mesmerising.

...your plate. ********************************************************************************************************** Baraka (bah-rock-uh) is apparently an ancient Surfi word meaning “Breath of Life”, and this film is all that and more. It is a day in the life of the world and it runs to the world’s heartbeat. It is about the pain and the ecstasy of this planet of ours, it is a journey of rediscovery: of beauty and of rage. Baraka is possibly ...
...spoken? I have seen Baraka described by somebody on the internet as “A non-narrative visual poem” and that is the closest summation I have heard. Instead of narrative what we have is a remarkable mix of music, put together by Michael Stearns who says it was “inspired by rituals and nature.” I can’t even describe what I was hearing much of the time but I can tell you that there is an amazing array of sounds from all around the world including contributions ...

DVD Description

From Nepal to Kenya, from Australia to Brazil, people try to cope with the changes that have altered their landscape, crowding them together and speeding up daily life. The film shows us these alienated people, but also images of traditions -- whirling dervishes and Tibetan monks -- that offer different, peaceful ways of existence. Shot in 70mm in 24 countries, this awesome musical and visual montage in the tradition of "Koyaanisqatsi" expresses the global existence of nature and man in the broadest sensory terms.
