Movie Review: Baraka
You may call this film a gem of sight and sound exploring global humanity as the filmmakers have. I just call it a bore. They purposely didn't provide any context for the sights and sounds and that totally frustrated me. I want to know who these people were, the context of the chants, where and why they're doing what they do or did.
I LOVE the world and all the variations people spin into their own lives. When I travel, I love to eat and drink local cuisine and listen to local music. Heck I love living on the Oregon Coast because of the sights, sounds and food. When an image I recognized popped on screen, it gave me comfort to know something. I want a story.
Bandon, Coos Bay and North Bend have copies of this DVD
