About

Filmed over nearly five years in twenty-five countries on five continents, and shot on seventy-millimetre film, "Samsara" transports us to the varied worlds of sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes, and natural wonders.

In the 1970s, "Samsara" would have been known as a head trip. The critic Matt Zoller Seitz calls it "a trance movie." For Fricke and his producer and collaborator Mark Magidson, it is a continuation of the meditative imagery they used in "Baraka" (1992), which intensely regarded the strangeness and wonder of our planet. Both films draw a sharp contract between the awe of nature and the sometimes ruthless imposition of man's will.
