remarkable, visually engrossing, with a range of spiritual resonances

Some reviews elsewhere have been highly negative, while others have been enthusiastic without having a clue, it seems, of the deeper hues (metaphorically) of this wide-ranging exploration of global people, places, and times. This is a remarkable and often beautiful film, with its share of quirks as well. It would be ever so good if more viewers and reviewers of this movie would set aside their entrenched biases and fierce egos just a bit, using their minds flexibly, as well as their eyes carefully. One might even give some thought to the concept of samsara (which is not only Hindu, as some professional critics have mistakenly said, but is also a key concept in Buddhism--which in its Tibetan form is a point of beginning and ending in the movie). At times, it's as though Planet Earth is meeting Terrence Malick here--but that can be good. Although wordless, this is a film one thinks about and remembers for a long time--and, in my case, dreams about.
