"I would say it’s one of my all-time favorite movies. There were times in my life when I had to watch Sans Soleil once a year, and I could because there was a cinema in Vienna that used to show it every summer. On one hand, it’s a perfect and artistic movie, but on the other, it’s like the basis of moviemaking. It’s an essay film dealing with documentary material, and it transforms it into a poetic idea of the world. For me, it’s the highlight of documentary filmmaking."

"The most influential rock film ever made (A Hard Day’s Night is probably second). It’s more than thirty years old, but it’s still the default reference for every rock group with a sense of humor (even if none of the band members were alive when it was originally released). It somehow has more cultural sticking power than most of the music it satirizes. There’s never been a real documentary about a real band that captures the nature of heavy rock as deftly as this unreal documentary about a fake band."

This is a pretty interesting documentary about a religious (?) sect that followed Indian Guru, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, 'invading' a small town in the middle of nowhere in Oregon. It showed both parties, interviewing the original residents, and the members of the sect. This made the documentary watchable, at least for me.
The most entertaining and slightly deranged person interview was Sheela, who served as Bhagwan's personal secretary. This lady was convicted of poisoning a town, and arming the sect like a military.
Worth a watch, and it's relatively short.
