Like all infomercials, Ayurveda: Art of Being is heavy on testimonials and light on statistics.
A film that takes you inside the rhythms of its subject: You experience it as you watch.
While the filmmaking may be a bit disjointed, the subject matter is so fascinating that you won't care.
If Ayurveda can help us return to a sane regimen of eating, sleeping and stress-reducing contemplation, it is clearly a good thing.
Director Nalin Pan doesn't do much to weigh any arguments one way or the other. He simply presents his point of view that Ayurveda works. No question.
Reinforces the often forgotten fact of the world's remarkably varying human population and mindset, and its capacity to heal using creative, natural and ancient antidotes.
Pan Nalin's exposition is beautiful and mysterious, and the interviews that follow, with the practitioners of this ancient Indian practice, are as subtle and as enigmatic.
A fascinating documentary that provides a rounded and revealing overview of this ancient holistic healing system
While the frequent allusions to gurus and doshas will strike some Westerners as verging on mumbo-jumbo ... broad streaks of common sense emerge with unimpeachable clarity.
Alternative medicine obviously has its merits ... but Ayurveda does the field no favors.
