Review

New York Times, 09/24/1993, p.C14, "...An awesome cinematic world tour....BARAKA makes dazzling use of time-lapse photography..."

Chicago Sun-Times, 11/12/1993, p.45, "...It is a meditation on the planet....The movie has the power of a dream, from which we awaken, instead of a warning, to which we respond..."

Empire, 12/01/2008, p.212, 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] masterpiece. Dialogue free, it's brilliant in its simplicity; a series of slow-moving shots mesmerise the audience into a meditation on life on Earth."

Product Notes

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.
