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."

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.
Chronos (1985)
, 42minutesDirected by Ron Fricke
Origin USA
Genres Documentary
Rating76%
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.

The first image in the film is of the Great Gallery pictograph in Horseshoe Canyon (Utah), in Canyonlands National Park. The section shown depicts several tall, shadowed figures standing near a taller figure adorned with a crown. The next image is a close-up of a Saturn V rocket during its launch. The film fades into a shot of a desolate desert landscape. From there, it progresses to footage of various natural phenomena such as waves and clouds.
