Watch - Samsara

Seven years ago I discovered the movie Baraka.  It was like nothing I'd ever seen.  It was stunning images strung together with strange and compelling music.  Since discovering it I've shown it to countless high school classes who make their protestations known regarding the movies lack of dialogue or talking of any kind.  But soon they are drawn into its hypnotic vision.  Samsara is more of the same - more beautiful, more compelling, more hypnotizing.  It is better constructed and sends messages of love and hate, violence and peace, consumption and want, and the endless beauty and ugliness of humanity.  It is a beautiful and provocative movie that everyone should see.  I will own it, show it and promote it.
