Gabe created a Movie Club on Facebook. So we are going to start reviewing, discussing, posting about movies we watch with friends! It’s great.
Baraka. Gabe and I watched it yesterday. Released in 1992, the footage from 24 countries observes in juxtaposed images of humanity cross-culturally, explores our relationships with each other and nature, and exposes truths that resonate, without the use of any dialogue or narrative. The images from the movie Baraka continue to haunt me, even as I wash dishes. Amazing and stunning photography, gorgeous music. This is the kind of movie that is beyond the ordinary–poetry of images that allow us to take a telescopic view of the pace our lives, and even, our spirituality and what we hold meaningful. Sometimes meditative, and sometimes surprisingly engrossing in its frenetic frenzy.
