Samsara (ticket giveaway)


Be as cynical as you want, there is no denying Baraka is one of the most out-and-out beautiful films ever committed to celluloid. It was also first released 20 years ago, which makes the world it documented pretty much gone from this Earth.

Now Ron Fricke and his crew return to the feel and style that made them famous – i.e. wordless, jaw-dropping portraits of the full sweep of human endeavour – with Samsara, an attempt to redo Baraka for the world of 2012.

Shot in 25 countries – difficult to reach places like Angola and Myanmar among them – and five years in the making, it's a typically awe-inspiring, visually arresting portrait of the world we live in now, a place where technology, humanity and nature sit in uneasy and sometimes painful symbiosis.

Samsara hits cinemas in Australia on December 26, and we have five double passes to give away thanks to Hopscotch. Send your name and address here to enter.
