in english with spanish subtitles

an documentary experimental film directed by Ron Fricke
USA 1992

Film includes footage of various landscapes, churches, ruins, religious ceremonies, and cities thrumming with life, filmed using time-lapse photography in order to capture the great pulse of humanity as it flocks and swarms in daily activity. The film also features a number of long tracking shots through various settings, including one through former concentration camps at Auschwitz (in Nazi-occupied Poland) and Tuol Sleng (in Cambodia) turned into museums honoring their victims: over photos of the people involved, past skulls stacked in a room, to a spread of bones. In addition to making comparisons between natural and technological phenomena, Baraka searches for a universal cultural perspective: for instance, following a shot of an elaborate tattoo on a bathing Japanese yakuza mobster with one of Native Australian tribal paint.

The movie was filmed at 152 locations of 24 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Nepal, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. It contains no dialogue. Instead of a story or plot, the film uses themes to present new perspectives and evoke emotion purely through cinema. The film was the first in over twenty years to be photographed in the 70mm Todd-AO format.

The title Baraka is a word that means blessing in many different languages. The score by Michael Stearns and featuring music by Dead Can Dance, L. Subramaniam, Inkuyo, Brother and David Hykes. The film was produced by Mark Magidson. A sequel to Baraka, Samsara, is planned to be released in 2009.

    If you want sadder, I commend "Shoah". It's nine hours long, compelling yet devastating at the same time - a must watch and a very, very important testament, it's almost beyond words.

    FYI: The jewish disciple at the beginning praying at the 'wailing wall' is wearing a small box upon his head, I gather that within this small box are little scrolls of prayers or slips of holy scripture or jewish musticism or such like - something like that. Curious world we live in, yet all anthropological theologies are as curious/surreal/remarkable (delete as appropriate) as each other!
