Samsara (And Other Artistic Inspiration)

Photos via the film website for Samsara, Pinterest, and my phone.

Have you guys heard of the new documentary Samsara? It looks gorgeous.


The title itself is the Sanskrit word for "the ever turning wheel of life." The filmmakers worked on the movie for five years, taking footage in 25 countries. Talk about a whirlwind adventure in producing art! :)


The premise and look and feel remind me a lot of The Fall, which I adored. So artful, thought-provoking, and poignant. 


I've been very inspired by various films, writers, and photographers in recent weeks: Frida (the film and her paintings), Pablo Neruda (his love poetry takes my breath away), and Manuel Alvarez Bravo and Ansel Adams (black and white photos put me in a trance).

 


What are your favorite films? Have you seen any good yoga documentaries lately? I'd love to hear! Namaste.
