'Samsara' is a 2011 poetic documentary which explores and displays various locations from sacred grounds to impressive industrial structures, filmed over 5 years in more than 25 countries the film is a sequence of visually enthralling shots captured on 70mm film. 'Samsara' is a documentary that subverts the expectation of the more common documentary, instead of informing the audience through narrator,dialogue or text the film focusses on encourages the audiences individual interpretations which are inspired by the visuals and music which combine the ancient with the modern. Exploring the cyclical cycle of life and its reflection in the rhythm of the planet the film projects link between humanity and nature through an expansive range of powerful moving images, these visuals accompanied by fitting cultural music which emphasises the theme and aids create a dramatic atmosphere among audience members. I intend to use this poetic approach in my own A2 coursework as I personally think the immersive style of filmmaking is effective in delivering the intended themes.
