"Baraka" is a visual odyssey - a sort of 70mm moving post card tour of planet earth done with artistry in sight and sound. With lots of slow pans which dwell on the mystery and beauty of exotic cultures and countries and a 96 minute run there's not sufficient time to do the planet justice. Nonetheless, "Baraka" is a worthy and ambitious project which will likely have limited appeal among the general filmgoing public. Kudos to Fricke for showing us places not seen much outside the pages of National Geographic.
