Storyline

- TriviaThe shot with the monk on the streets of Tokyo was unplanned. The crew went to a factory for filming but after many hours of searching for ideas, they disbanded the place, finding it unsuitable for filming. On their way back to the hotel, producer Mark Magidson saw the monk walking and stopped the cars and asked director/cinematographer Ron Fricke to film him. After obtaining the footage, the crew gave the monk some money and left. The monk never stopped his prayer and never looked into the camera.
- GoofsThe city Istanbul is misspelled in the movie twice, as Instanbul.

Featured review
It is perplexing to read a few comments below that rubbish this film. To me, and to so many others, it is unequaled in it's beauty, sensitivity and deep spiritual perception into this amazing world that we inhabit.
Really, I think if anyone watches this film and cannot feel uplifted to the heavens, then they must be spiritually deadened by cynicism and negativity.
Even without DVD and the big screen, we have enjoyed repeated viewing of this EXCEPTIONAL film. I first saw it in Sydney, in Panavision's huge screen, and was totally blown away by the cinematography as well as the profoundly moving music. But even on VHS here at home, it touches me ever so deeply.
10 out of 10. An incredible experience!!
