INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
后半段》前半段。具有意大利新电影一贯的特性：神秘、寓言、自然主义。视觉与听觉的配合，地上与地下的对比，一些与洛尔瓦彻《奇迹》同质的片段。
【北影节-11】影像人类学。语言“退化”为声音，风景“进化”为叙事，科学不期而至，自然迎接死神。最后影院祝大家“但愿人长久 千里共婵娟”不失为人类学注脚。
原来这句话这么美好💕
年轻的洞穴学家抵达了洞穴的最深处，老人停止了最后一次呼吸，白茫茫的雾气淹没营地。
导演有点儿意思，让我看了个寂寞，虽然全程目不转睛没有睡着，但还是因为缺觉严重脑子懵懵的，希望未来能有机会在更清醒心情也更好的状态下再看一次大银幕
还是很扎实，地质勘测与巨洞探险，赋予行为和地理以合法性，联系起老人的意外死亡，脉搏的起伏与地洞的深度似乎紧密相连。
绝美爱情，哭了，高人蠢太会一直一直在一起。
人类向上也好，向下也罢，那些探索都意味着对神域的入侵，即使洞中一无所有。
好水…..跳舞部分画的好奇怪……蛮无聊的就是
建议一边睡觉一边看，你会收获如在洞中的体验
为了和你永远一起生活，就一定要做出改变，是不断改变的不变之人~洗牙哇塞♡
89/100 #BJIFF2021# 语言隐退时，电影以再造记录的方式进行一场对壮举的自反，对自然祛魅又再魅惑，从记录形式延至超验性。绝佳的声景电影，但更关注黑暗中的光亮，如开头的灯塔，如柏拉图的洞穴神话，电影作为光照亮黑色银幕的媒介，仍能以一种非常天真的方式令人惊叹。村庄里的村民们坐得满满当当在属于他们的小型影院观看黑白影像，纪录人类以电影的形式向上或向下探索。人类试图同耶稣并置，戴上头灯就能照亮前方吗？火车到站，电影发展能带领人类去往最南处，绘为清楚示意的胶片，而自然本身是可测的吗？电影的发展是有尽头的吗？与动物拟声交流，深睡于草丛中，面部与皮肤纹理等同地理纹路，重复的机位构图中由光、雾和天色作为时间的刻度。放牧人身上带有连结大地的自然神性，探测越深身体越弱，直至羽化为仙，蒙太奇的典范。
依然是甜度爆表 但是船戏差点意思 都放去跳舞和表白了
下面的线去掉了，还挺不习惯的哈哈哈(*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
洞穴与生死，大远景与大特写，瞬间有了哲思，洞穴寓言、洞穴结构、洞穴空间与时间、消弭的历史……解读空间太多了，视听的独特足以让弗兰马汀诺跻身大师行列。
有点点尬尬的就是说，两场床戏有点没诚意😡
#11thBJIFF# 矿灯投射的昏黄光线在潮滑的岩壁上碰撞游移，竟产生了比戈登·威利斯的“阴影美学”更加惊艳的视觉效果。火烛状的光斑凝缩成一个奇点的时候整个人仿佛要被吸到银幕中去。老者手背上起伏的浅静脉想及《镜子》中在日光曝晒下渐渐消失的水痕。
*说“美则美矣”短评那个人没看懂，无语😓
可，可恶啊，是被制片那对切片吸引进来的，结果过程不超一分钟……
🆘我好想看副线cp啊！制片人那对啊看着好香啊！！！被结尾的戒指感动到了一下下😢（顺便想看舞台。
