Anne Akiko Meyers - Birds In Warped Time
I love Samoi Satoh especially after Baraka, I must Amazon all his releases.
Lessons Of Darkness - Gustav Mahler's 2nd Symphony
That was simply a recommendation of mine, none of the movies have anything to do with each other really.
Lessons In Darkness is different in that Herzog uses the imagery to construct his own view and understanding with regards to the Gulf War. I found the mixture of classical music, striking visual photography of oil spread over a desolate land with his incidental commentary very moving.
Baraka is also a favorite of mine. Though I hope Ron Fricke finishes Samsara sometime soon as well as the script is wonderful.
Lessons Of Darkness - Gustav Mahler's 2nd Symphony
No, they're not schmawy. I'm wondering myself what this has to do with Koyaanisqatsi (or any part of the Qatsi trilogy) and Baraka. Admittedly, I haven't seen Lessons of Darkness, but it seems to come with a somewhat pretentious and judgmental attitude not present in the others.
Koyaanisqatsi ("Life Out of Balance") is a film by Godfrey Reggio that examines our manufactured world and how we are a part it. Baraka was directed by Ron Fricke, the cinematographer for Koyaanisqatsi. 'A celebration of humanity' is about the only description I can come up with. It shows us in all our grandeur and ugliness and passes no judgement. I still consider it one of the best films ever made. (The "meanings" of the films are my own interpretations and feelings about them, and not meant to be attributed to their respective creators.)

Lessons Of Darkness - Gustav Mahler's 2nd Symphony
Watch the troika of Koyanniqasti, Lessons Of Darkness then Baraka.
The Making of Koyaanisqatsi
For me this film had a pretty profound effect, even more so with Baraka.
More of Koyaanisqatsi can be sampled here...

Princess Mononoke--summarized in about 10 min.
Between this movie and Baraka, you have everything you need to understand my philosophy on the world. There are so many things I could say about this movie and why it is so fantastic, but I shant bore all of you.
Baraka (engrossing non-narrated cultural documentary, 96min)
A fairly indescribably original piece of cinematography: the source of these two sifts clips: Baraka - 1992. Beautiful film & Hypnotic and mesmerizing clip from Baraka...
Grand Central Timelapse
I love all of Ron Fricke's movies and can't wait for <Ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsara_%282006_film%29">Samsara. Michael Stearns out did himself on Baraka.
Grand Central Timelapse
This is from the movie Chronos by Ron Fricke. This is the same man who brought us Baraka and worked on Koyaanisqatsi.
Original music by Michael Stearns.
Tribal Histrionics or Mass Tribal Chant
DD is right, I found it so surreal when I first watched Baraka.
There are more clips from Baraka here.
Hypnotic and mesmerizing clip from Baraka...
This is my favorite part of the critically acclaimed film Baraka by Ron Fricke, the cinematographer for Koyaanisqatsi.
In addition to making comparisons between natural and technological phenomena, such as in Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka searches for a universal cultural perspective: for instance, following a shot of an elaborate tattoo on a Japanese bather with one of Native Australian tribal paint.
The title Baraka is a word which means blessing in many different languages. The score provided by Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard (from Dead Can Dance) and Michael Stearns is noticeably different from the minimalist one provided by Philip Glass for Koyaanisqatsi. Notable music was also contributed by the band Brother.
I urge people to watch the film in it's entirety in the links provided here.
Tribal Histrionics or Mass Tribal Chant
Beautiful clip. It's from the film 'Baraka'.
A Japanese Snow Monkey Bathing - Haunting
That's my last clip from Baraka. I've been looking for this bit for ages and it's easily my favourite.
Amazing
Baraka - 1992. Beautiful film.
I've tried a few times to get a Baraka clip through, and none of them have been successful. It is definitely one of my favorite films. I hope it gets through!
Baraka - 1992. Beautiful film.
This is just a 10 minute clip from Baraka, an amazing film with no dialogue. You can watch the full thing here....
