In the cinemas, Samsara was as good as digital 4k projection gets. The film gets a little over obvious at times, but is still well worth viewing. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the BD of Baraka, which is a stunning an image as I've seen in a home setting.

Why are their scarves blowing in different directions and why does the horse have 3 legs and a stump and why is he holding reigns not attached to the horse?

And then there is his face...

So many questions unanswered, the artist was obviously intending to create feaverish discourse.

Why are Oompa Loompas orange?

Because they are not blue, red, green, purple, violet, pink, black, blue, yellow, white, peach, brown, grey, gold, silver, bronze or turquoise.

SAFETY LAST (Hal Roach Studios-1923)
Swedish OS (23.5" X 35.5")

Great color contrasts and I like the simpler style in which this was drawn.

Did not know that the studio printed two different color versions of the Deep until I saw these tonight on Emovie. If I had to choose, I'd go with the blue:

I like the film, last time I watched it was in Las Vegas in 2001, borrowed from the hotel video library.
