Lucky People Center International Trailers

Lucky People Center International takes us on a journey around the world through human souls. Music's rhythms and the film's pulsing form reminiscent of the music video aesthetics and gives the documentary a new face. The film traveled around the world for two years to find people and lifestyles that reflect the world before 2000.

Whilst watching this movie, I kept comparing it to "Baraka". About half way through, I started kicking myself and started trying to judge this film on its own merits.Looking back, comparisons to "Baraka" seemed like a fair touchstone to judge this movie. Whilst "Baraka" relies almost entirely on vision to not only take you on a journey, but to deliver a vaguely anti-consumerism message, Lucky People Centre relies more on music and spoken word to portray its message.Whilst I'm not claiming that Baraka's message is muted, or hard to find, Lucky People Centre is a little more obvious with its back-to-nature-and-warning-about-the-future message.Visually stunning, with an eclectic set of characters ranging from an Indian Guru to Maori singers (a personal highlight is the millennium Haka).Definitely has more than one viewing in it, and would be a perfect movie for the dance music freak, anti-globalisation nut or anyone who enjoys a movie that doesn't fit into the normal boundaries of cinema

This is an experience. When I saw the movie I thought it was longer than 85 minutes, maybe as long as 2 hours. And I mean this in a good way. I've seen it twice, and I'm just amazed.Right now I'm writing a C-essay in media with LPC as topic. You should to. at least see the movie.

A beautiful, perfectly edited ethnographic film that fills you with joy and sorrow and makes you want to change yourself and your world. Great tunes composed by the Swedish crew who break new ground with their non-linear sound/narration/music combinations.

A movie that beats you, right in your mind. It lets you think things over. You see in this film why the "beat of life" is that important. At the first side it is a religious and philosophic documentary, at the other side it is an art movie that mixes samples of music, words and pictures and all that in a real rhythmic and musical sound. But also the stills are great filmed.I like this film very much, because I like DJ Music (and this is like a more serious party, where a DJ also mixes Images), because the People are very interesting and it is excellent filmed.I'm now 16, but I think those who are as old as I, don't like this movie because it is long time very quiet and it is not like I thought always action and music. I would recommend it to all who like great stills, electronic or rhythmic music, good documentaries and to those who are bored of all the normal movies. For those who expect Action or Comedy it isn't to good, though it have both in a way implemented, but not very usual. I'd call it: "cool dj avant-garde art documentary"If you want something new and cool
