SAMSARA reunites director Ron Fricke and producer Mark Magidson, whose award-winning films BARAKA and CHRONOS were acclaimed for combining visual and musical artistry. Without any dialogue or apparent story and simply through visual cues and incredible editing one of the most important pieces of work since the since 2000 has been created.

Was this review helpful? For those wanting to see this movie, I highly recommend seeing it in a theater, if possible. The images displayed in the film resembles the art of nature and the world we live in. For example, Koyaanisqatsi wasn't all about nature contrasted with industry.

I'm not sure it even qualifies as a film in the traditional sense. It was also thought provoking and gave us plenty to think about and discuss afterward. Wearing the director’s hat this time, Fricke set out to make “The ultimate nonverbal film in the ultimate format,” as Baraka’s producer Mark Magidson puts it. Was this review helpful?

Samsara (Tibetan word meaning "the wheel of life") was an attempt to capture the images of today's so-called globalized word, which by the way is fading away. From musing at how infinite and beautiful the universe is, to examining the roots of human insecurity and the inherent angst of the industrial/corporate mechanization of humans and animals, Samsara takes the viewer on an existential journey through the mystery and experience of a conscious being on earth. 21 out of 47 found this helpful.

The film is implicitly advocating a New Age or holistic perspective, with a dollop of Eastern religion added for good measure. The film itself is a tribute to earth itself and the environment that we surround ourselves in, as well as an homage to the our culture, diversity and our triumphs. This is simply incredible film making and a testament to the medium itself. If only a small time capsule of earth's memory should live on without us, this film should be included. 48 out of 56 found this helpful.
