Review of Samsara

Samsara (I) (2023)
6/10
In part 3 the spiritual depth of the 1st part completely evaporates.
18 February 2024
The movie starts interesting with spiritual feelings about the Buddhist way of living, feeling and thinking. Concentrated on feeling and thinking and trying to understand our connection to the universe and the way people came to life, live, die and how their spirit continues in the next life. After the experience with the eyes closed (part 2), very similar to 2001 but much less impressive. This also applies to the next phase of life in part 3, the ghost of grandma Mon reincarnated in a goat. There the depth of the 1st part completely evaporates. Spirituality and the essence of life and death completely dissolve in the superficial way of life and thinking of the people in the Zambian village. The disappearance of the goat into thin air fits well into the complete nothingness of the 3rd part of the film.
