What kind of grade is that, for real?
in Movies ·
This movie was more than pleasantly surprising. I expected some sort of generic romantic comedy, but this turned out to be so much more than that. The dry American wit hits the mark perfectly, and the plot successfully avoids falling into genre clichés. The ending is one of the craziest things I've seen in movies like this.
"Samsara" is a documentary without a single spoken word about... well, what? About nothing and everything at once (now I'm just rambling). It cuts between shots of nature and scenes of human life, activities, and man-made structures. Those shots are spectacularly filmed and even weave together a narrative; they aren't just thrown together randomly. While I felt like I needed an explanation for what exactly I was watching at certain points, Ron Fricki (who specializes in this style) decided to keep us in the dark.
Do I really need to spell it out for you?
