Baraka, roughly translated as blessing, a common word in many middle eastern languages. Beautiful 70mm photography of spectacular scenes around the world, no plot, non-verbal. Director Ron Frick says the movie is about man's relationship with the divine. I was most taken with the rituals in diverse cultures. I still can't get over the opening scene of the monkeys in the hot springs.
