Summary: "Without voiceover commentary, or written explanation, Forest of Bliss (1986) involves the viewer in a pure and intense encounter with what is seen and heard in Benares, India. The film looks at specifics, but also opens itself to larger concerns such as the eternal cycles and metamorphoses of water and earth, flesh and wood and fire, wind, and the spirit. This much discussed and debated film is at once science and poetry"--Container
