Rasa Yatra (2012)
8/10
Exploring the spiritual cultures of India
12 July 2013
Rasa Yatra film demonstrates an original logic of exploring the spiritual cultures of India. Tomanec explores expressions of the divine in all its manifestations and succeeds in wielding together visually divergent imagery into the organic whole of a multi layered poetic experience. Moving from the grand majesty of natural bounty and the meditative practice of the reclusive ascetics to the artistic and formal vibrancy of the Vaishnava experience in Braj, the film maker's vision ties together various strands of spiritual experience, from the formless aesthetic quality, described in Sanskrit as nirguna, to a new form known as saguna, all in a distinctive vocabulary of creative potential of the chosen medium to its fullest. It is such a fresh perspective, delivered masterfully and most importantly - intimately!
