Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 4 -- [A] film composed of powerful images, most magnificent, some shocking, all photographed with great care in the highest possible HD resolution...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Fricke and his crew capture such moments as a Hawaiian volcano erupting to life with a stunning, you-are-there clarity. But the film winds up being a collection of striking visuals without any emotional heft.

By journey's end, the film comes full circle, tying everything together with the notion that even the finest art in the world can dissipate in seconds...

3 stars out of 5 -- Jaw-dropping in colour and splendour...at its best you can genuinely feel some great wheel turning.
Total Film
Rating: 3/5 --
Mesmerising, impressionistic movie in which time-lapse photography...is intended to ignite thoughts about the meaning of life, society, technology, God, ecology and robots.

Each painstakingly shot sequence and beautifully rendered frame speaks volumes -- presenting a fascinating riddle of humanist metaphors and allegories.

Product Description:
Director and cinematographer Ron Fricke offers a striking glimpse into some of the world's most remarkable happenings in this visually spectacular documentary. Following in the same template as 1992's BARAKA (also directed by Fricke), SAMSARA is a study in the ways humanity works as a collective and as individuals, with the cycle of human existence providing the subtext for the parade of images (the title is a Tibetan word meaning "the wheel of life"). Combining scenes of destruction and rebirth, images of profound humanity and mechanized lifelessness, BARAKA includes remarkable images of people working together en masse, including Muslims visiting the holy city of Mecca, hundred of Chinese dancers performing a synchronized routine, and prisoners doing group exercises in a prison yard. Fricke filmed SAMSARA over a period of several years, shooting on 65mm film stock and transferring the footage to 4K high-definition video for post-production and exhibition. SAMSARA received its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
