Bravo, Ron Fricke!
Baraka
(DVD)
October 24,
2003
I don't buy the
latent philosophy of this film (its inclination toward
Zen/Sufi/New Age centrifugal escapism is too obvious), but
when I see a masterpiece I cannot deny it. "Baraka" is a
visual art of very good taste, informative, and emotionally
disturbing. Also, I completely agree with the authors'
silent critique of the big modern cities: they ARE evil,
ridiculous, and ugly. There are several scenes in this film
that made me believe again that I haven't seen it all yet!
Don't miss this one. - Alexander Feht
