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, but it is also opaque in meaning and probably best appreciated by viewers already in an incoherent state. Worse, the film loses much of its intended magic on video. --Tom Keogh From Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide Strikingly visual, insightful National Geographic issue come to life which tells the story of the evolution of Earth and Mankind and the manner in which man relates to his environment Shot on location in 24 countries. There's no dialogue, only sounds and images; this will lose much of its effect on the small screen. Todd-AO 70mm.

Absolutely Stunning In Everyway! Reviewer: Stephen Palmer   from San Francisco, California      January 10, 2000 Baraka is one of the rare films that really captures the beauty and essence of our worlds many landscapes and cultures. The cinematography(originaly shot in 70mm)is by far the best of any movie ever made. The soundtrack (Michael Stearns, Dead Can Dance...) is equally impressive , creating a visual and audio experience like no other. One leaves the theater truly inspired and euphoric. I own the video, the soundtrack and can't say enough positive things about this movie. Buy it and set aside 2 hours with no phone calls, no bills, no interuptions...and truly take in what this movie has to offer. 2 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?   Possibly the Best Movie I've ever seen Reviewer: Kathryn Rowan   from Traverse City, Michigan      January 3, 2000 Yes, you can not get the full impact if you didn't see it in the theatre, but it is still worth owning. Show it to your classroom, friends, get the word out: this video is a significant, optimistic, crucial view of civilization, mankind and humanity. 2 people found this review helpful.

Reviewer: Juan Carlos Torres   from San Juan, Puerto Rico      December 22, 1999 Este documental es una oracion en audio-visual, es el primer paso a la meditacion, es la primera pregunta que se hizo el primer ser en la tierra y las preguntas que nos debemos hacer dia a dia ¿Quien soy, por que, a donde, cuando? solo verla una vez es suficiente para conectarse al planeta tierra. 3 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?   Astounding! But why no DVD? Reviewer: Sean McGuire   from Montreal      December 13, 1999 As others have said, this masterpiece should be in DVD format. Who can we write to get this to happen? If there could only be one movie in DVD, this would be it. 4 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?   See all 58 customer reviews...
