No words. Some beautiful, some gross.

This is a visual journey of the world that just shows "interesting stuff" there is no story, plot or script. I learned about this movie from a "films to watch when you're high list".

Possibly one of the best documentaries, and overall experiences you can ever see. An immense summary of humanity itself, all captured on one of man's greatest inventions... film. A must-see for anyone who is fully aware of the world around…

I love documentaries and I watch them a lot. This one is one of the worst documentaries I've seen. Sheer stupidity, twisted logic, don't waste your time.

The whole film has a Buddhism undertone but it still covers both Christianity and Islam. A good way to describe this film would be as the history of mankind.

Originally posted in 2013 but disappeared: Thanks to ktnv's pointer on "continuous flow". It is more of Baraka, film by the same producers, which showcased some of the best, and worse, parts of nature and human life. This time with…

In the "making of" section of Samsara, one of the film makers says repeatedly that this is not a film about thinking, but feeling -- how true that is. As mesmerizing and profound as are many of the images, they are edited to send a message…

A visual feast at times, but you are also reminded of the ugliness brought about by industrialization. Not a single word was spoken in this documentary. But you don't really need it. The accompanying sound track is excellent too.

I have a bias for pure sight and sound cinema, and I found this movie even more impressive than such iconic examples as Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Baraka ...

This is a 2011 documentary directed by Ron Fricke. Through this film, you could get an unparalleled sensory experiences. This is a kind of inspirational meditation with mesmerizing and fascinating images of clarity.

Ron Fricke’s follow-up to 1992’s "Baraka" was filmed in two dozen countries over a period of five years to give us a visually impressive cinematic poem based on the endless cycle of death and rebirth. Under his meticulous direction…

A wonder-filled exposition of the variegation of humans in the early twenty-first century. A film to be astonished by at least once every year.

This is a beautiful work that shows human consumption up against nature. The film is gorgeous and moving although created uncomfortable feelings during moments of it. Highly recommended as a movie to engage the mind.

it's overrated ... and has no words.

A beautiful and also deeply disturbing, painful movie. Beautiful juxtaposed against the nightmare that is our food addiction, gun addiction, and great need for "things." One to think about, but I would never watch it more than once.

I was looking to watching this, but to my disappointment the first disc is cracked and would not play in any of my DVD players :(

I too found the movie disturbing. Yes, some of the imagery is beautiful, but some of it is just too over the top. You don't know if the next theme is going to be one you love or one that makes you sick. Usually I love movies off the…

Parts of this film could have come from National Geographic (and I mean that in the nicest way). Technically the film is excellent, although some of the speeded-up time lapse sections made me dizzy and a bit nauseous. A small amount of the…

Samsara means (Sanskrit and Tibetan) "continuous flow", is the repeating cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth. Inspiring images and music capturing the interconnectedness of all life without the use of dialogue or text of any…

Brilliant movie! This is one of the best films I have ever seen. The cinematography is incredible and compelling, and it kept my attention the entire time despite having no dialogue. Loved it!

Pretty amazing movie. The quality of the images is as good as it gets. Reminds me of some of the images from the Planet Earth DVDs. Highly recommended.
