Opis:
Ron Fricke, the cinematographer on the trippy Koyaanisqatsi, made this similarly impressionistic, dialogue-free photo exhibition come to life. Shot in 24 countries and at all sorts of locations (ancient temples, Auschwitz, a chicken-processing plant), the film attempts to make a subconscious or poetic point about the relationship between living creatures (particularly humans) and their environments. It's a breathtaking Herculean effort
I'd heard a lot about Baraka prior to picking it up, specifically about its enormous influence on documentary film-making and the visual arts, its cult-status as a somewhat mystical work of art and the fierce following it has generated. This may sound rather overblown, but in a word Baraka is mermerising.
Without any commentary or narration, Baraka takes the viewer on a journey to a world both familiar and alien: Earth, in all its living glory. This is a profound work of art that has truly found its medium in high definition. The Blu-ray transfer is incredible, the picture has the vitality of the living world. Through a kaleidoscope of expertly juxtaposed images, the film immerses you in the living, breathing, pulse of the natural and human world. With obviously painstaking skill, the creators of the film weave together images from around the globe to demonstrate the interconnected nature of life on Earth. The juxtaposition of scenes reveals a keen artistic awareness on the part of the director, as links, analogies and metaphors resonate between seemingly different social spaces and geographical locations. The film covers the full spectrum of the natural and human world, exploring themes of terror, awe, hatred, joy and beauty as if they were tones in some scale of human experience.
This is a deeply ecological film, which is the source of its great power as well as one or two flat moments. Certain sections are crude and beat the viewer over the head with their message. The depiction of 'primitive' peoples as representing purity and modern technological society as corrupt and debased is also rather hackneyed and unreflective. Yet for me the urban, technological components of the film have a beauty of their own: they too are part of the great rhythm and heartbeat of the world. Ultimately the great power of the cinematography carries Baraka over the simplistic nature of some of its messages, utterly engrossing the viewer and creating a sense of sublime interconnectedness with the world.
A visually stunning film shot over 13 months, in 24 countries, Baraka is an overwhelming experience that spans the geographical, cultural and social diversity of our changing planet. Set to an atmospheric sountrack inspired by various rituals and nature itself, the film captures the very essence of man's relationship with the earth, both harmonious and catastrophic. Baraka is a journey of rediscovery. It is the power, the beauty and the rage of life itself. It is the world we live in.
