I went to The Astor in St Kilda tonight to watch the 1993 “non-verbal” film Baraka in cinema for the first time. Seeing the famous 70mm cinematography on a big screen was a great experience that I had been waiting eight years to see since first watching on DVD. See clip below.
When I went home, I went searching for updates on the sequel I had read about a while ago – Samsara – which is due to be released this year.
Whilst the IMDB page is very quiet – there are clues out there, such as tweets like this that indicate a release is not far away.
The best indicator of what is to come can be seen on the portfolio website of ‘Ten 80′ a cinema production and logistics company based in China, where a lot of scenes in Samsara are said to have been filmed. Check out the shot below. I can’t wait.
