Rating:  - Eye Candy
When I was going through a classic, or, perhaps, mundane, midlife crisis, searching everywhere for answers, someone recommended "Meetings With Remarkable Men" to me. It was an entertaining read. That's it. Not a spiritual journey. Then I learned that a film had been made. When I saw the film, I was blown away. It was, cinematigraphically speaking, the finest film I had ever seen. Just Beautiful. Anyone who thought about it knew the work was apocryphal, even silly. Just entertainment. I think ... Read More

If you know next to nothing about Gurdjieff, there is a fat chance you will be confused watching this movie, which is based on the so-called second series of All & Everything (written by G. himself), and it bears the same title. My suggestion is: read the book first, and also that outstanding introduction to G.'s ideas, Fragments of an Unknown Teaching. Finally, go back to this movie and enjoy it.
If, on the other hand, you know already about G., here is a word for you: the texture ... Read More
Rating:  - A hilarious movie! Gurdjieff was a babbling buffoon!
Don't buy this silly nonsense. Gurdjieff must have been related to Rasputin! Hahahah what a comedy!
Rating: - Watch a Remarkable Movie
I first saw this film when pretty young - its effect was devastating. It was on a double bill with Zeffirelli's epic film about St. Francis, "Brother Son, Sister Moon."

Repeated viewings show it to be, while a bit of its period, still holding up. There ... Read More
Rating: - Captures the Spiritual Experience
This is perhaps one of only a half dozen movies ever made that captures the spiritual experience. You actually FEEL the spiritual feelings that they are experiencing on the screen. This is almost unheard of. The only other movie that did this for me recently was Koslowski's 'Blue' of a few years back. The movie is a true journey of the seeking of individuals -- as well as the journey of the soul.
It is tremendous feat.
I especially love the very exotic location. It starts in the mountains ... Read More
