Chronos (/ˈkrɒnoʊs/ KRON-ohs) is a 1985 abstract film directed by Ron Fricke, created with custom-built time-lapse cameras. Originally released in IMAX theaters, it is now available on DVD, Blu-ray, HD DVD, and for free on Hulu and YouTube.

Synopsis

Chronos is 42 minutes long and has no actors or dialogue. The soundtrack consists of a single continuous piece by composer Michael Stearns. Filmed in dozens of locations on five continents, the film relates to the concept of time passing on different scales—the bulk of the film covers the history of civilization, from pre-history to Egypt to Rome to Late Antiquity to the rise of Western Europe in the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to the modern era. It centers on European themes but not exclusively. Other time scales include the passing of seasons, and the passing of night and day, and the passing shadows of the sun in an afternoon to the passing of people on the street. These themes are intermingled with symbolic meaning.

Le film alterne des séquences montrant des paysages naturels et des rites religieux ou spirituels humains, filmés sur les cinq continents. Au cœur du film, des séquences plus pénibles (accompagnées notamment de morceaux de Dead Can Dance dont The Host of Seraphim) montrent les aspects destructeurs de l'humanité telles la misère ou la guerre. La fin du film revient sur des séquences de spiritualité, notamment une séquence des bains rituels dans le Gange, à Varanasi en Inde.

The official website describes the film, "Expanding on the themes they developed in Baraka (1992) and Chronos (1985), Samsara explores the wonders of our world from the mundane to the miraculous, looking into the unfathomable reaches of humanity's spirituality and the human experience. Neither a traditional documentary nor a travelogue, Samsara takes the form of a nonverbal, guided meditation."

Ce documentaire sur le phénomène OVNI vise à montrer que certains ovnis peuvent être extraterrestres et que le secret et le ridicule sont régulièrement utilisés pour garder la vérité sur les ovnis cachée.
