Wheel of Time

About This Movie

Wheel of Time offers an engrossing glimpse into a massive Buddhist ritual in Bodh Gaya, captured through Herzog's distinct lens. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the ambiance, the chants, and the vibrant colors of devotion. The atmosphere feels almost otherworldly, as if Herzog invites you to step into a realm where time itself is an abstract concept. The practical effects are essentially the raw elements of the ritual; no frills, just pure, unfiltered spirituality. Herzog’s choice to let the scene unfold naturally speaks volumes about the themes of faith and the human experience. Performances, if you can call them that, are woven into the fabric of the ritual, giving the film a meditative quality that lingers long after it ends.
