| The
magnificent basilica at Vezelay, in France, has for centuries lured
pilgrims from around the world. Its magnetism and serene beauty has
inspired philosopher and painter William Segal and filmmaker Ken Burns to
examine the expansive question of search. The film includes spectacular
photography of the basilica and the rituals conducted within, we listen to
Segal's thoughtful and engaging commentary and witness him leading a
simple but riveting directed meditation. In every image and gesture
Vezelay joyously probes the eternal question of individual identity, the
obstacles and exhilaration of seeing, searching and being. **Some of Ken Burns' films are listed again under Religion, Music Documentaries or Sports. |
