Movie Reviews of Siddhartha
Movie Review: A Visual Meditation
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow...how can I even find words to talk about this film? From start to finish, I felt like I was in swept up in a meditative state--the captivating music of Tagore's poetry, the beautiful cinematography, and the quiet simplicity of the film. I suddenly found myself on Siddhartha's same journey, the quest of who am I and what am I doing here? And in the end, I felt totally complete--with all the answers and none at the same time. Some have said "there is not enough" in this film. Not only do I disagree, but I think that's the whole point! In an age where we are bombarded by special effects and other distractions, what a delight to see something that is not "trying" to be something! It just "is"--and leaves it up to you to see the beauty, which is abundant for all the senses. Again, it is an adaptation so of course not everything can be included, but I felt Rooks "kept it simple" in Buddhist style and I didn't miss a thing. Everything I needed to see and hear was there. Also thought the casting was perfect--Shashi Kapoor dead on as Siddhartha and I thought had great chemistry with Simi Garewal who plays Kamala.A special note about the bonus features: Don't miss the interview with Conrad Rooks! That was almost as enjoyable as seeing the film itself--his synchronistic and humble tale of how the film overcame substantial obstacles to finally be made. I don't think I've ever heard as much behind the scenes info on a film! You're on the edge of your seat to hear what happened next....
Truly amazing, a delight for the senses. I can't even think of anything I DIDN'T like from this film--it did that much for me. I felt totally at peace. If you are spiritual at all and open to someone else's interpretation of the book, you will not be disappointed!
Enjoy!
