The Buddha (2010)

This documentary for PBS by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin and narrated by Richard Gere, tells the story of the Buddha's life, a journey especially relevant to our own bewildering times of violent change and spiritual confusion. It features the work of some of the world's greatest artists and sculptors, who across two millennia, have depicted the Buddha's life in art rich in beauty and complexity. Hear insights into the ancient narrative by contemporary Buddhists, including Pulitzer Prize winning poet W.S. Merwin and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Join the conversation and learn more about meditation, the history of Buddhism, and how to incorporate the Buddha's teachings on compassion and mindfulness into daily life.

It's more historical than instructional, and those familiar with Buddha's story might not gain too much.

Excellent overview of the life of Siddhartha Gautama and the basic tenets of Buddhism.

A wonderful re-telling of the classical tale of the life of Buddha, that focuses on why his life and his teachings resonate, today, to any ordinary person. The interviews taken, from Dalai Lama himself, to artists, poets and monks, are a revelation. The simplicity of Buddha's concepts is striking, and whenever the meaning tends to be elusive, there is always a smart remark that will bring us back to the actual insight. Music, animation, narration, are all combined to support the vibrant content. Aesthetically the animated part maybe not the best of choices, but it at least it works! I recommend this movie not only to first-timers, but also any practitioner who needs to be reminded of the Dharma.

6/10 Not as good as BBC's "The Life of the Buddha" but good documentary.

Rather slow and unsophisticated, while at the same time beautiful and potentially enlightening. The intended audience seems to be those who have no or very little knowledge of Buddhism. Most others will find this a bit boring, I think.
