	Baraka
		Producer Mark Magidson and director/cinematographer Ron Fricke previously teamed on the 1985 Imax-format film CHRONOS, while Fricke also made an Imax short (SACRED SITE) and was the director of photography and helped edit and write the similarly wordless, visually spectacular KOYAANISQATSI (1983) for director Godfrey Reggio.
		Fricke's imagery is overpoweringly beautiful, even that of desperate urban squalor, which may very well be another part of the film's purpose, to question how our culture's spiritually deficient, self-destructive path could have begun in such timeless, stately innocence.
		Working on a reported $4 million budget, Fricke and Magidson, with a three-person crew, swept through 24 countries in 14 months to make this stunning film, which was released in the major cities in Todd-AO 70 mm.

	Baraka
		Named after a Sufi word that translates roughly as "breath of life" or "blessing," Baraka is Ron Fricke 's impressive follow-up to Godfrey Reggio 's non-verbal documentary film Koyaanisqatsi.
		The result is a tour-de-force in 70mm: a cinematic "guided meditation" (Fricke's own description) shot in 24 countries on six continents over a 14-month period that unites religious ritual, the phenomena of nature, and man's own destructive powers into a web of moving images.
		To execute the film's time-lapse sequences, Fricke had a special camera built that combined time-lapse photography with perfectly controlled movements of the camera.

	Kevin's Ramblings: Baraka
		In this hypnotic visual essay, the relationship between Man and the Earth is explored by photographer Ron Fricke, by means of careful editing and a haunting series of musics from around the world.
		Cinematographer Ron Fricke explains that the effect was intentional: "It's not where you are that's important, it's what's there." And what's here, in Baraka, is a whole anthropological essay summed up in 104 minutes...
		I think Fricke chose that, not in a particular attack on Japan, but to show humanity's connection with the chick factory.

	Korova Multimedia § Baraka
		Previously a collaborator with Godfrey Reggio on Koyaanisqatsi, and the director of the IMAX films Chronos and Sacred Site, Ron Fricke has collaborated with producer Mark Magidson on a mystical documentary of global proportions.
		Magidson, Fricke and composer Michael Stearns have crafted an audio-visual tone poem that meditates on the world and the varied cultures that clamber on its surface.
		Fricke uses the three senses that film appeals to (sight, sound, time) to suggest that which is extra-sensory.

		This film is not only a worthy successor to Koyaanisqatsi (Fricke's 1983 installment concerning similiar material, only taking place entirely within the U.S.) but is perhaps Ron Fricke's finest film.
		Filmmaker Fricke has presented us with a meditation on the defintion of what is to be human, in all its various guises, and in effect showing how rich our peculiar species really is.

	Baraka comments - Ron Fricke
		I bought this film on spec because of a special offer whilst buying Koyaanisqatsi (also filmed by Ron Fricke and one of my favourite films ever) and have just watched it for the first time.
		If Ron Fricke were to film the 3rd sequel to an abyssmal, 'made for TV' no-brainer, it would be hailed as the next Citizen Kane.
		Ron Fricke allowed for Eastern religious experiences to dominate the footage and manifestly looked at modern post-industrial society as chicken incubator (viewer will undoubtedly note the scenes I am talking about).

	Movie Habit: Review of Koyaanisqatsi (1983), **** (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Made in 1983 by Godfrey Reggio and Ron Fricke, it was the first film of its kind: a commercial-length non-narrative film consisting only of stunning photography and a brilliant score composed for the film.
		Alton Walpole and Ron Fricke's editing connects all the themes: people moving themselves through high-volume production lines; people behaving as collective, social insects; and the private loneliness of the individuals in this great hive.
		Walpole and Fricke's editing and Glass's music is so effective, you could chart the course of the film by attaching heart rate monitors to the audience.

		Director and photographer Ron Fricke captures the majesty of nature and the ritual of the human experience through a series of time lapse, slow motion and aerial photography.
		It would be hard to review Baraka without mention of Fricke's earlier work on Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi, as the two share a similar style of photography and substance, yet Baraka is not simply the same film revisited.
		Philosphical and technical aspects of the film are examined by director Ron Fricke and its producer.

		Electronic music, composed and performed by Michael Stearns, is thoroughly integrated with the considered, slowly paced editing of Alton Walpole and Ron Fricke.
		Image and sound interpenetrate one another to suggest and convey the eloquent wordless scenario, which was conceived by both Constantine and Genevieve Nicholas.
		Fricke's ongoing struggle, we see that their is, at last, some sign of harmonious life beyond the scenario of Godfrey Reggio's dire trilogy.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Ron Fricke - 1992 - Baraka Movies Review
		Parts of the 96-minute documentary are deliberately prayerful, clearly demonstrating the oneness of mankind in a montage that includes Buddhist monks bowing before an icon, traditional Jews praying fervently before the Western Wall, Muslims commencing prayer en mass, Christians kneeling inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and a Balinese monkey chant.
		Filmed over a thirteen-month period in twenty-four countries, Fricke's widescreen 70 cameras capture such spectacular views as Argentina's Iguazú Waterfalls and a solar eclipse to the mundane details of a Japanese factory or sleeping chamber.
		The vistas are often grand and sweeping, but he'll also provoke with images from a Polish concentration camp and their now abandoned crematory ovens, scavengers perusing a Calcutta garbage dump, or with a montage of homeless individuals and families bedding down for the evening.
