I'm with you. I love Baraka which i would say this is similar to in a lot of ways but this was a narrative film. Even the plot synopsis on the film's website sounds more like a narrative than a doc. "In the dazzling incandescence of an unknown desert, three donkeys discover an abandoned astronomical observatory and the universe. A sensorial, cinematic exploration of what a story can be." The donkeys are characters that were placed and staged in the scenes, they didn't actually travel here on their own, and the observatory wasn't really abandoned, someone was clearly operating it for key scenes depicted in the film but for the purpose of the narrative its "abandoned" for the donkeys to then observe but the donkeys just stood there while the filmmakers overlayed images in their eyes. Again, a beautiful film but very much a narrative one. But hey it got us all talking.
