I hope that's something my local movie rental store (or maybe my library) will have. I just read the Wikipedia article about it, and it sounds interesting.

It is visually arresting. I also just finished the wiki article, it sounds about right. I don't have the video display capable of taking advantage of the new dvd/blu-ray release but it does sound tasty.
The comparisons to the Qatsi series are also apt. I have all three of them as well. They are powerful, moving experiences. I give them my highest recommendation.

Does anyone have suitable equipment to view this or support the critic mentioned's argument?

I reckon anyone with a modern 1080p display could display the maximum quality of the blu-ray video. As for the audio, I think it would take a separate sound system integrated with the blu-ray player and display, though I'm much less fluent with the current specno-babble for the audio terms.
As for the extra super high resolution at which it was digitized from the original analog film, that's beyond the capabilities of anything outside a studio. There's no home theater displaying those kinds of resolution. But the article says it was reproduced on blu-ray with fancy audio. I have a blu-ray player (a PS3) but only antique televisions and none with discrete outboard audio. I am *still* amazed by this film though.

Extremely few people would hear a difference between regular CD quality audio {44.1k/16 bit} and that super highDef audio, even on studio quality monitors.
Still, I applaud the effort. |

I've only seen Baraka once, on TV, by chance. It started just after some other program I had been watching ended, and I just started watching ...
Should have had some kind of warning on it ... "this program may blow your feeble mind" or something.

4k definition (whatever the hell that means) TVs are just now being made available to the public. I imagine the prices are just stratospheric.
A quick (lazy) google shopping search comes up with a 4k video camera...$29,999.

You'll want to stay away from red.com if you are shocked by that sticker.

Stay away? W/an endorsement like that, I don't think I can, now.
ETA: Yikes.

About a week before Paul's surgery his lifelong friend, Tom, flew in to help out during the beginning stages of Paul's surgery. (wish i'd gotten the chance to fly his plane, a glass cockpit Grumman Tiger, reaaaaaaaly nice!)
They had gone to Paul's favorite cigar shop where Tom found this meerschaum hand carved sultan pipe from Turkey. I have to admit, it's a very pretty, well crafted pipe. Today after i went to see Paul, who is making progress.....slowly but surely, i left the aftercare hospital and went by the cigar shop which was not even 3 minutes away and bought the sultan for Tom. i'm shipping it to him sometime on Monday. my way of saying "Thanks". while he and his wife were here they were a tremendous help.

That"s an amazing pipe. I would love to be able to carve that well.
Good thoughts for Paul. I hope he recuperates soon. |
