Samsara
"Samsara" takes the form of a nonverbal, guided meditation that will transform viewers in countries around the world, as they are swept along a journey of the soul. Through powerful images pristinely photographed in 70mm and a dynamic music score, the film illuminates the links between humanity and the rest of the nature, showing how our life cycle mirrors the rhythm of the planet.

Ron Fricke took five years and went to five continents to make his documentary “Samsara.” The title means “ever-turning wheel of life” in Sanskrit. In addition to directing, Fricke photographed the film and co-wrote it, with Mark Magidson. Writing in this case means conceptualizing and structuring, since “Samsara” is wordless. As if to compensate for the absence of speech, there’s a lot of music and ambient noise on the soundtrack. The result is like an issue of National Geographic gone mad.
