Samadhi is both mystical and mysterious, an incredible fusion of movement, sound and colour. Belson notes the influence of his study and practice of Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism on the creation of Samadhi. The film is inspired by the principles of yogic meditation: the movement of consciousness towards samadhi (union of subject and object), the fusion of atma (breath and mind), a state which reveals the divine force of kundalini, a bright white light we discover at the end of Samadhi. The Tibetan Book of The Dead is the inspiration behind Belson’s use of colour in Samadhi, corresponding to descriptions of the elements of Earth, Fire, Air and Water in the book. —Sophie Pinchetti, The Third Eye

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I'm feeling a little like no one will ever read this but i know how it feels to reach upon a film that sparks my interest only to find out no one knows anything about it! this is a compilation of Jordan Belson's work from 1964-87. basically it is a bunch of ambient eye candy before digital animation. this is more beautiful and much more pure than hitting the visualizer button on your windows media player. the music is composed by an Alaskan man named john Luther Adams. there isn't much else to say but if you've taken the care to actually come across this one, you'll like it. There isn't much more to say about this one. Good, smooth imagery, Soothing music. All in all a good, worthwhile experience. Not for the closed minded.
