Baraka was directed by Ron Fricke. It is a non-narrative documentary film and explores themes via compilation of natural events, life, human activities and technological phenomena.
The message that I got out from this film is that it kinda depicted humanity and how we should see other cultures and respect them as it is from an outside perspective with all the different rituals and shows how we interpret it differently from others.
The absence of dialogue in this film in my opinion kinda made it long and dreadful in which made it harder for me to watch. If there was some form of dialogue or maybe human language, we could possibly see and interpret the film differently and may or may not made more impact towards the audience.
I would recommend this film to those who are really interested in like a non-narrative documentary style kinda of film that makes one interpret things in their own way. In the other hand, I would not recommend this film to those that are not into this kinda of genre as it's interesting but really lengthy.
Samsara is the sequel which came out in 2011.
