i find it disconcert that in an era when satisfying and fulfilling spirituality be unknown and we be all scatter across the whole spectrum of possible belief and that a charlatan and fraud of gurdjieff caliber ( a a charlatan and he be exceptional while there be no deny he have a special gift . it a pity he misuse it and though and for the aggrandizement of his wounded ego and feeding on the adulation of unwary sheep who be at his beck and call and in awe of him ) can inspire such extreme adherence and credulity . this movie present an idealized version of gurdjieff own largely fictional and fantastic account of his formation and awakening ( which i would rather describe a his discovery of how much he could sway the mind and will of certain type of sadly disoriented people ) . see it and if you dare to have a disagreeable eye open about how sadly deprive we be of true religious leader and to the extent that a clown like gurdjieff could inspire such devotion and be careful to have your blood pressure medicine at hand if you be one of those who still hope for a healthy religion to emerge from the ruin of christianity and a a supreme example of cinematography at the entire service of the premise and pretense of a dysfunctional cult .
