Samsara

When I first hear about Baraka, almost 5 years ago, I was quite skeptical about it—96 minutes of photographs and music is not something to take lightly—but while watching it I was mesmerized by the experience and beauty of the images. And at today I still consider it one of my favorites movies of all the times.

Samsara, also directed by Ron Fricke and produced by Mark Magidson, expand the themes developed in Baraka and take us on an extraordinary trip around the world showing “the ever turning wheel of life”. The movie have been shoot for almost five years on something like one hundred of location, spanned across twenty-five countries, and have been photographed entirely in 70mm film using a custom build motion control time-lapse camera.
