Description

A World Beyond Words

In the pantheon of modern cinema, Baraka remains one of the most unique and acclaimed motion picture events of our time. Shot in breathtaking 70mm, it is a transcendent global tour that explores the sights and sounds of the human condition like nothing you’ve ever seen or felt before. These are the wonders of a world without words, viewed through man and nature’s own prisms of symmetry, savagery, chaos and harmony.

Special Features:
  • The First Of Its Kind: 8k Scan from the fully restored 70mm film
  • Baraka: A Closer Look
  • Baraka: Restoration

Review by Matthew on 30th September, 2009
4 stars "Immaculate picture technical showcase of Blu-Ray"

I think of this as a technical showcase for Blu-Ray and High Definition. The picture is supremely clean and extremely detailed, picking up the most minute details and displaying them effortlessly.

I would probably best describe it as the opposite of the Planet Earth Blu-Ray. Where the Planet Earth Blu-Ray offers supreme picture quality and narrative showcasing the beauty of nature and the earth with just epic shots captured on film, Baraka is a lot more intimate.

There is no narrator or voice over in the film, its a look more so towards the culture and lifestyle of people on the planet, religions, beliefs, war etc. It doesn't impress on a scale the size of Planet Earth but something much more closer to home and more of an intimate look at how the people of earth, different cultures, religions, get on in their every day lives, the backbone of our society.
