Kailash: Pilgrimage to the Throne of Gods
The holiest mountain in Asia, in a far away corner of west Tibet, amidst wild and ragged landscape, nearly entirely cut off from the rest of the world, is called Kailash. For the pilgrims of four religions this 6675m high mountain is the ‘throne of gods’, or ‘navel of the world’ – a place where the divine takes an earthly shape. For thousands of years pilgrims have travelled to this place to worship the mystery of the mountain circumnavigating it on foot. The path around Kailash is an archaic ‘path of initiation’. Florian Fricke and filmmaker Frank Fiedler (also an original founding Popol Vuh member) made their own spiritual trek along this path and documented the journey. Accompanying epic landscape scenes in the film is the music of Florian Fricke and Popol Vuh, spiritual music inspired by this unique journey.

Reviews
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
