Samsara

A transcendental film, Samsara is not merely something you watch; it’s an experience that touches you deeply and transports you to a dimension beyond familiar sensations. It commences in Laos at a Buddhist temple, where dozens of young disciples apprentice alongside wise monks. One of them crosses the river daily to read a text to a woman who serves as a psychopomp. When her time comes to depart this life, her spirit embarks on the path of reincarnation. Transitioning from Laos to Zanzibar and evolving from images to their absence (at some point, the film invites you to close your eyes), the viewer is called to surrender to tranquility and spirituality on a journey that unveils intellectual, aesthetic, and cinematic pleasures, aiming to reshape our perception of cinema itself.
