YMMV / Baraka

• Awesome Music:
  • Featuring an original score by Michael Stearns and songs by Dead Can Dance. Some of the music is directly lifted from his 1988 album Encounter.
  • The Balinese Monkey Chant is an expertly timed production of sound and movement.
• Heartwarming Moments: The Japanese macaque serenely enjoying a hot spring in the middle of a cold winter. The eyes are so ancient and soulful, one would mistake him briefly for a wizened priest.
• Nightmare Fuel: The prison camps scenes. At one point, you can almost hear the distant screaming of women.
