Profile of Baraka

The mood of Baraka is contemplative, offbeat, and stylized. The plot centers around society. It is an independent, documentary, and music-oriented movie. Stylistically, Baraka is nonlinear, is experimental, and is surreal. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The pacing is slow. Baraka is set in Indonesia, the Middle East, and South America. It happens in the 20th century. The musical score is world music. Baraka is known for being critically acclaimed. It is especially suggested for a family outing.

Summary of Baraka

From Nepal to Kenya, from Australia to Brazil, people try to cope with the changes that have altered their landscape, crowding them together and speeding up daily life. The film shows us these alienated people, but also images of traditions--whirling dervishes and Tibetan monks--that offer different, peaceful ways of existence. Shot in 70mm in 24 countries, this awesome musical and visual montage in the tradition of KOYAANISQATSI expresses the global existence of nature and man in the broadest sensory terms.

Spectacular. I don't watch movies twice, let alone pay full price in a theater for them. But I see this every time it comes to a big screen near me. I marvel that Fricke was able to collect all these incredible aspects of life on Earth in one... Read and rate it
