Baraka

This is perhaps the least random stuff I ever posted. I've seen this wonderful film 'Baraka' (1992 y. by Ron Frickie). Baraka means blessing by multiple languages. Film doesn't cover any of narrative storyline and from the very beginning might appear cranky to focus on. However, evolving harmony and directors' deep understanding of photography unleashes the great masterpiece simultaneously covering beauty of the nature and significance of the culture.

Here are some introductory snapshots from 'Baraka'. I ought to comment just a couple of them simply because I am not intellectually and culturally sufficient yet on sharing my opinion on the rest of the film. 

During the timeline of the movie there're no particular references of what exactly is happening, why it's so and where it's about. Consequently, the huge amount of existent knowledge is required.

The movie was filmed at 152 locations in 24 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Kuwait, Nepal, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey and the United States.

P.S. From my point of view, the place called Tuol Sleng (means 'Hill of the Poisonous Trees') Genocide Museum located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which is also shown in the film, is the most depressive place on the Planet. It's an actual high school turned into the torturing prison run by Khmer Rouge in between 1975 and 1979. I still remember the graffiti painting from one of the cells: 'Life is what we make it'. But was it for them?
