So, 'Daba - Portrait of a Na Shaman' is this fascinating documentary that dives deep into the spiritual revival of the Na people on the Himalayan plateau. You know, it's been decades since they openly practiced their religion, and the film captures that raw emotion of rediscovery. The pacing is reflective, giving you time to absorb the rituals and the hauntingly beautiful landscapes. The old shaman Dafa Luzo has this presence, and the way the camera lingers on him really tells you something about the weight of tradition. There's no flashy editing here—just a straightforward, honest portrayal. It’s not every day you see such a sincere exploration of cultural identity, especially from a group that’s been silenced for so long.
Great for those interested in indigenous cultures.Offers a unique lens on spirituality post-communism.The cinematography is quite striking, especially the landscapes.
