It is claimed that the great age of travel is dead - that there are no longer amazing, exotic, beautiful and fearsome places for the traveler to discover. A movie like Baraka gives hope.

Top CriticThe form is ravishing, though the content suffers by comparison.

Baraka's major strength is its realization that life happens all over the world and not just in America.

Sweeping, jarring and mesmerizing -- not to mention mind-blowing, if I may indulge a '60s phrase.

This is a film that gazes with such awe at the mystery of life on earth that it seems almost childlike and yet does it in a way so purely cinematic that it can only come from the hands of a wizened master.

images [and juxtapositions] in BARAKA . . provoke speculation about our place in the cosmos

[It] begins like a National Geographic tour....a vacation from dialogue and narrative, traveling strictly on imagery... [but]Baraka gets old before the 93 minutes are up.

Top Criticwill appeal greatly to any children of the sixties ... who believe in the common unity of mankind and how we all seek the same universal source'

Extraordinary non-narrative film that enables us to see with our eyes and feel in our flesh that the healing of self and the healing of the planet and inextricably linked.

Critics and audiences have struggled to find the right words to describe the effect Baraka has on them for 16 years; but it seems appropriate to be speechless after seeing this wordless masterpiece of cinema.

Nothing in this epic visual poem is less than extraordinary.
