That is one of the most amazing and moving pieces of art I've ever seen. The thing that hit me the most was the factory with the little baby chickens. I yelled out loud at the TV during that scene.

First time i saw it was a few years ago on Acid and mushroom combo... It has  been my favourite ever since.... Tho during the trip, i couldnt manage seeing it through, but have seen it a few times since then... A beautiful piece indeed.

Pure enrapture.

About 3 months before I left Philly, I proceeded to share most of my cat's stash of tryptamine-catnips and Purinee-phenythylamines with my former Penn colleagues.  Happened to chance one night on 10mg each of 5-meo-amt, hour and a half later a film student/friend with a then never released copy of Baraka shows up at my home.  Another hour later after sharing some of my cat's stash we sat and watched something I could never imagine yet exists every day on our wonderful planet.  Truly a ++++.  Both film and tryp.  I usually wander about town on my excursions but could not lift myself up as I was transported to each filmed locale ... the scene with the monk has never left my mind... in the midst of chaos... kihin... bell struck... cold sweat on the surface and a fevered energy up my spine.  Quasi-televised-cinema-satori.  

Oh yeah check out the Qatsi trilogy as well... if Baraka is the honeymoon the Qatsi trilogy is 7 years later with 3 kids and a divorce pending.

Definitly I have seen all but one of the trilogy....the chicken scene in baraka turned my g-friend into an instant vegetarian for life, shit was pretty brutall..  overall a great life transforming movie.

Wow.

Vegetarian huh?

I'll have to check out that Qatsi trilogy.  Thanks for the heads up you guys.

I think the folks in colorado tried to turn me on to that flick awhile back. But they were aparently casting pearls before a swine. They say it makes a visual statement, but I guess I like the movie currently playing in me head better.
