Review of Awaken

Awaken (I) (2018)
10/10
Outstanding

This film is part of a genre created by Godfrey Reggio and Ron Fricke (and to some extent, Terence Malick) which I enjoy immensely. Tom Lowe and team have done a masterful job in becoming a worthy part of that group. The photography, editing, music and images are spectacular and memorable. This is the first film like this where humans are a key part of the images and story. The children and the young dancing women in particular are wonderful. The scenes come from all over the world, of course. Some are homages to Reggio, Fricke and Malick, and are recognizable as such right away. I can heartily recommend this great film.
