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.
巨幕，好的音响，音画俱佳，值得一看的新作，北影节结束了。
想起七八年前坐在幽暗但氛围轻松的教室里，全班一起看《岁月神偷》。哪怕配音配的稀碎都想给5星，想妈妈惹。
3、【Go！】
Bjiff2021 所谓精神抚慰不过如此，通篇交织生命无言的消逝和苍然的呼唤，不断重复下坠直到脚踏实地。提前宣布是今年北影节最佳，去年的是《蜂蜜之地》。
北影节第二部。今年威尼斯主竞赛+小评审团奖。没看之前看影评以为会很闷，差点没买。幸亏买了，是我的菜，是特别的电影。1.视听语言非常棒，录入了狗叫、牛哞、蝇飞、水滴、铃铛等等自然界的声音，风景优美，洞里的光和黑暗之间互动，这样的电影证明了电影院永远的意义。结尾处大片云覆盖森林让我想起了曾经在瑞士的风景，完美复刻。巨幕+4K很爽。2.剧情不闷有悬念。两条故事线，一条线是探洞，我一直在期待更深处的洞里有什么，另一条线是牧羊人的死亡，总觉得他没有死，把毛巾放到他脸上的那一幕像谋杀，后来带去远山里放逐，有楢山节考的感觉了。3.其他印象深刻的场景：全村人聚集在一起看电视（很早以前的节目）、和耶稣一起睡觉、用探头灯吓小孩、只有一辆车就在草原上燃起了清晰的尾气。希望能引进更多入围国际电影节的片子啊！
#BJFF 探照灯光和草原的绿交织，自然与人类并置，入地又入心
很纯粹的一部电影，几乎集中在视觉的平静和音效的震动上。慢慢的探索，一束一束的火光，像云一样移动的牧群，还有与洞穴一样满脸皱纹的老人在呼吸。最终当洞穴学家示意停止后，我一度以为还会有反转，但没有。老人被裹上毯子，绘图员在雾中给草稿画上最后几笔，电影结束。（ps 看完本人地质学家的梦又复燃了）
88'不要怕，怕就输了一半🇬🇱
bjiff 9.23 探索山洞的故事 风景很美 节奏很慢 穿插着小镇居民的日常昼夜 后半部分还是看睡着了
北影节#24/人类怎么就从满眼的山川河流变到了iPhone13的，这物种完了。
PS:阿jer唱嘅片尾曲好好聽！
（北影）第一次和那么多人一起看大闷片，居然没有人提前离场（好像是）。知道是探洞的，没想到真的只有探洞。
剧情稳健，选角合适，各种好哭。剧作挺聪明的，第一幕写接力，中点后写揾食。片尾原型好帅，可惜这样完美的男孩也依旧并不是多数女孩的选择。三个年龄段的男主都演得好。音乐太满了。
一星给摄影的敬业程度，一星给牧羊人的死亡过程，一星给最后的云海镜头。
壮丽，好奇是怎么拍的。喜欢这种单纯的monumental式的电影。最后探到洞底的时候，知道牧羊人也要死去了，但我并不觉得空虚，很释然。
老人如这片土地（一次轮回的）守护神，洞如老人的脊椎，不断往洞底探索的年轻人们是脊椎中扩散的细胞，他们抵达洞穴，摊手表示尽头，获得一个数字，一次轮回结束，只不过自然可以瞬间吞噬人类，之后开启另一次轮回。
日常本常既视感，前30分钟会需要按耐住躁动，在探险小队成功抵达第一个洞底之后有所缓解。牧马老人和探险小队兵分两路，老人象征着时间，从精神矍铄到垂垂老矣，到平静逝去，是那种inner peace的体验。探险小队一步一步深入，到最后观众也跟着紧张起来，甚至担心他们被卡在洞里出不来。我挺赞同这是一部精神情色片的。
这样的电影的存在让我愿意去相信，电影终将不会死亡。
北影节一天之内的第三场了，看之前还在担心会不会睡，结果什么啊简直看着太抓眼球太爽了，用镜头语言跟极牛逼的音效把地洞里促狭，深邃的空间感表现得淋漓尽致；在巨幕看4K摄影机拍的意大利风光简直不要太过瘾，绝对是我今年看得最大饱眼福的一场电影，不看白活！
电影本身是讲的洞穴勘探的故事，声效还原真的配得上“声临其境”四个字，就是没看上杜比厅真的气😤
