When I finished Samsara, I had an overwhelming sense of completeness. Like everything important I wanted to say about life and my experience as a perplexed human individual, was said. Without the use of any verbal articulation, but images, not only does Samsara do an unreal cinematographic job at capturing magnificent time-lapsing skylines and beautiful human architecture and cultural customs, but it eloquently juxtaposes its scenes to create epiphanies in the viewer. From musing at how infinite and beautiful the universe is, to examining the roots of human insecurity and the inherent angst of the industrial/corporate mechanization of humans and animals, Samsara takes the viewer on an existential journey through the mystery and experience of a conscious being on earth. If only a small time capsule of earth's memory should live on without us, this film should be included. Alien scholars would revel in their discovery.
