"Robert Gardner's Forest of Bliss is a contemporary classic of nonfiction cinema. Recalling the conditions of its filming in Benares, India, in 1985, and presenting their moment-by-moment impressions upon watching it several years later, Gardner and anthropologist Akos Ostor probe questions of what it means to capture life - and death - on film. The resulting conversation is a lively exploration of issues philosophical, anthropological, and - above all - artistic.

Making Forest of Bliss presents this dialogue, together with an introduction by philosopher Stanley Cavell and a newly mastered DVD of the film."--BOOK JACKET.
