The film does the same thing as what Malick always does, but this time so explicitly and over the top that Malick is somewhat spoiling himself with this film: the images and poetry have become kitsch and its mystical message a gimmick. Yet there remains something authentic and effective in this film that once again wants to express the wonder of life (or of being at all) and combines images like a BBC nature documentary with mystical poetry.

To the extent that Malick succeeds in conveying that wonder, he brings you back, as it were, to how you played with water and sand as a child and discovered the wonder and power of the elements water and earth or how exciting it was back then. you discovered the wonder and power of fire (so you can imagine that in the 6th century BC people wondered whether everything came from water or fire). Or Malick shows you the starry sky and a supernova so that you once again become aware of how endlessly vast the universe and unimaginably powerful the cosmic forces are and therefore how insignificant we are. Everything is a miracle if you focus on it, from a drop of water to a ray of sunshine, and Malick wants to show us that. Psychedelic drugs can provide the same mystical experience very directly and very intensely, so that ecstasy arises and, for example, the whole world and yourself disappear into that one drop of water you are looking at (and you can, for example, hug a tree in ecstasy for hours).

This film is structured as an ode to 'Mother', the eternal Creator ('birth giver') of everything, but Malick does not seem to be referring to the transcendent and personal God of the monotheistic religions but to Mother Nature, Brahman from Hinduism or Schopenhauer's Primal Will.

For me, beautiful images do not make a documentary. This is a collage of nature images. If you have a voice-over, why all that pseudo-poetic nonsense that makes no sense? This is for Baraka enthusiasts, but for curious, critical people who wish to continuously learn and be informed about what there is to see, I would suggest that it is best to skip this. 1*

Difficult to assess. Nice and nice images of the cosmos, of water, of life on earth. But I didn't find the images very coherent. It often jumped from topic to topic. A journey through time can be nice, but there was no structure in the images.

If you also end up with a meaningless and rather irritating voice-over, this does more harm than good. Then Samsara or Koyaanisqatsi found it a lot more relevant and clearer what it was about.

Documentary has a poetic philosophical undertone, a bit pompous, but that didn't come out well. It's nice that the beautiful images still kept me somewhat glued to the screen.
