One of the great visual trips in film and a certified cult classic. From the volcanic birth pangs of earth, to the nose dive of a space rocket, this is definitely "life out of balance" the translation of the Hopi title. The film communicates its message purely with images and sound (the hypnotic music of Philip Glass) — no dialogue. Cinematography by Ron Fricke, who directed Baraka in 1992. (AJP)
