Trivia
The shot with the monk on the streets of Tokyo was unplanned. The crew went to a factory for filming but after many hours of searching for ideas, they disbanded the place, finding it unsuitable for filming. On their way back to the hotel, producer Mark Magidson saw the monk walking and stopped the cars and asked director/cinematographer Ron Fricke to film him. After obtaining the footage, the crew gave the monk some money and left. The monk never stopped his prayer and never looked into the camera.

An extraordinary trip

During the 96 minutes, I feel like a bird crossing time and space.

I was amazed by the images and the camera technique. For just a few second images, the filmmaker have to overcome how many difficulties! What a spectacular job!

Moreover, the questions it brings to me strike me, and it makes me rethink about the human life. The contrast between the worlds and the cultures punch me so hard.

This movie is absolutely in my collection.
