Searching for the essential in Gurdjieff biopic, 8 July 2000
7/10
Author: palisa66 from Houston, TX

The famous story of Gurdjieff's quest for wisdom and awakening among the peoples and traditions of the remote Middle East. The film demonstrates the level of drive and commitment that a seeker must sustain in his or her own search. The cinematography is stunning, though the acting and dialogue feel a bit stilted. The real highlight of the film is the final ten minute sequence of sacred dances, which seem to call to something in the viewer, echoing the call followed by the story's remarkable men.
