A more objective review of this biography
12 March 2023
This biography is definitely Osho-friendly, nevertheless quite informative in depicting his life, his ashrams and odyssee through footage and interviews with people who actually had met him. It certainly doesn't shy away from telling the problems with his secretary Sheela, with the Oregon neighbors, US officials and intelligence agencies who were quite tenacious in persecuting him around the world.

What I missed, was a deeper dive into his teachings (although you can hear snippets of his discourses), and there's almost no material from his books (as I've read some of them in the 1990s). Furthermore, it was annoying and unnecessary to use emotional music in some scenes.

Can I recommend this biography? Well, yes, but as a biography only. I think it may be a little thin for people who would like to know more about his body of work (e.g. Living a free sexuality, against organized religion, iintroduction to meditation techniques and energy therapy). You can find them elsewhere, abundantly.
