VISUAL ART MOVIE




NO SCRIPT, NO ACTORS, BUT IMAGES AND SONGS. A SPIRITUAL MOVIE.

 It´s not a movie to work with all the classes we have , it´s just for those  whose students  already know movies from a different and sensitive perspective. One can work with a Review, for example, or even with the emotions it brings, using adjetives to describe them. From a different point of view the directors Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson have produced "A MAGIC JOURNEY” through cultures. Take a look at the trailer and have a nice journey.



This outstanding movie brings to our minds the singularity of  civilization, customs and sensations. For me, a kind of therapy. For the students, reflexion and humanity.They would  research the cultures showed on the movies and this is important to broaden their cultural universe.
The opinions are controversial among the students, and it´s a kind of movie they don´t use to watch for the obvious: it doesn´t have the “Hollywoodian recipe”.
 The images include: a solar eclipse, Buddhist monks, Brazilian slums, Auschwitz, African tribal rituals and much more.
Filmed in 24 countries´´

Samsara is Ron´s 2011 follow-up to Baraka.  The release of Samsara will be in August 2012
