Beuatiful images. I love it, I haven't shown it to my girlfriend yet because I don't know if she'll tolerate the lack of plot. If you have a fancy TV you want to show off, especially one with excellent brightness, this is the disc to use (I first saw this in an ultra-high-end AV store). I am surprised it isn't available in 4K, not sure how much difference that makes, but it's still impressive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Skeptical no more. *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2006* I bought this DVD on impulse last week because Amazon paired it with Waking Life, and as I waited for it to arrive, I went hot and cold constantly, at one point thinking "wow, this must be so powerful and amazing, considering that there's no narration and no traditional plot," to "oof, well, can I sit through ninety-some minutes of this with nothing to tie the images together?" Let me just say that when all was said and done, my initial excitement was more than justified.The language of this film, where in most others we would look to dialogue, is found in the music (which is incredible in its own right-- note to self, see if the soundtrack is available). Through the segues, peaks, and valleys of the sound, Fricke actually manages to cogently connect such starkly different images as traffic in Tokyo with human breathing, the intensely different architechtures of distant cultures, menial factory labor and upper-class executive professions, prayer and chant-- all the while jumping from one end of the Earth to the other, creating a spectacle of similarity that will leave you shaking your head in amazement.Surprisingly enough, as is mentioned in certain other comments, there is a poignant emotional charge to the piece as well-- I won't go into details of course, but I have to say I was just as moved by scenes of this film, completely devoid of words and (what I am now forced to view to be) more superficial human drama, as I was by any big-name actor-driven drama like Schindler's List, Green Mile, or anything like that. Some parts are drop-dead hilarious, others are terrifying. Never a dull moment throughout.Meanwhile, to speak of the film more technically, it's still a masterpiece. This is the first piece I've ever seen that was shot in 70mm film, and I was blown away. I'll tell you, it doesn't even matter whether or not you've got an HDTV with 7.1 surround sound-- I watched Baraka on a 20" JVC TV/VCR combo, with its standard stereo speakers-- the depth of field is almost dizzying. Even simple dolly shots (some scenes toward the end focus most on architechture) are strikingly rendered, and the color quality is absolutely insane. Every frame could conceivably be printed and exhibited as a professional photograph, but of course then you'd lose the soundtrack! I can barely begin to imagine what it must look like on an HD display.Overall, there is not a single thing I can criticize about this movie-- it's quite possibly one of the best I've ever seen, and one I plan to strap all my friends down to watch at some point soon. Definitely worth the investment to be able to watch it over and over-- my skepticism was totally dashed.My particular copy was damaged slightly-- I wasn't able to see chapters 5 or 6 when I watched it, but Amazon's been really great about getting a new copy to me as fast as possible, so I'm all-around pleased! Definitely a great buy-- grab up Baraka straightaway if you're a fan of documentary, experimental film, cultural studies, poetry, photography, anything! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/87526033-baraka](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/87526033-baraka) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
