Baraka never ceases to amaze me. If you haven’t seen it, you haven’t truly discovered…

If I had unlimited money I would own all of these. It would make the best DVD collection ever. Take note, people, if you ever want to get me presents…
The other night, I watched Baraka, the most beautiful and incredible wordless documentary about life and humanity. The visuals were absolutely stunning; it was so hard for me to believe that it was shot in 1992. Emily and I watched it again two nights later while making rosemary parmesan red potato/sweet potato fries, and I still couldn’t get over it.
The film is a revelation about our world and humanity. It’s mind blowing to look at all these places and civilizations and realize that they are all part of the same earth. I don’t even know how else to describe this meaningful and eloquent film, except that it is quite possibly the best film I’ve ever seen (and I mean this seriously).
Oh, and if you get the chance, watch it on a huge screen on bluray with the lights off :D
