Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

ivo-ivan As a teenager and into my early twenties I was heavily influenced by Osho's books. Think for yourself, be true to yourself, don't fit it just because you have to fit in, learn to celebrate life, accept the New as gift, etc.It was an exceptional experience to watch this documentary.I loved that the filmmakers used old footage, facts, articles, that they interviewed people who were directly involved in the story. They showed both sides of the story, thus letting you decide for yourself.It's a brilliant picture..for me it portrays in a great way the dichotomy of "the moral" or "the teachings of the Master" on one hand and the real life on the other.Morals, beliefs, loyalty, friendship etc are all very beautiful poetic words, but usually they go at a cost that few people are willing to pay in real life.the greatest value of this film is how this dichotomy is portrayed with "facts and figures". It's up to you to decide how you will take the film. I love it.

versandeep Normally, documentaries end up portraying a biased view, but this one keeps a rightful balance. Extremely well made !! Better than most of the thriller movies I have seen. Highly addictive !! Very well made and must watch.

freshruIns Wild Wild Country is a fabulous visual treat and a good debutante-info-package for someone who's hearing about Osho for the first time. However, there are rather big gaps in reasoning and content when it comes to story telling. My father and some of my family members in India were Rajneeshees in the '80s and when juxtaposing their experience and the content of the documentary, it seems so that the directors omitted large chunks of narrative which would have seemed critical towards Rajneeshees on specific grounds. For example, forced sex between higher ranking Rajneeshi officials & kids who were underage was one of biggest scandals that made many parents to quit the commune. That never came up in the series. Not even once as a unverifiable story. Even if the directors are given the benefit of doubt and said that the information presented had to be completely verifiable and factual, still the vibe of the documentary feels very pro-Osho in an natural way. The documentary is presented as half-true but not-at-all-dishonest version of the whole thing. Also, the accounts from Antelope Residents felt a bit unenthusiastic. As in, they were documenting the local people because thye 'had to' and otherwise it wouldn't seem balanced and fair. (Maybe it's just me) So on the surface, the documentary isn't presenting lies, they did give the Antelope residents an outlet to speak, but implicitly carried on with a heavily pro-Osho narrative by not mentioning a wide range of vile facts, which otherwise would have changed the course of the whole series.Cinematography was stunning and the all frames looked artsy and engaging. Post production was well done too and added a dramatic, period-film-ish touch to the visuals. However, background music was a bit too overwhelming for me. There were hardly any shots with bare/natural sound and most of the film came with really filling background score. For example, when they show disciples walking, on the background there's some army-like and patriotic music and it has already evoked a pre-determined emotion in my mind, even before I get a chance to focus into that scene. I think it affected the objective, non-biased attitude of the documentary and made it a bit-too-drama-movie-like. Something along the lines of, 'the viewer should exactly feel what the director is feeling in this scene'. If the score music was a bit more subtle, it would have left more room for the viewer to absorb the content and decide what to feel for themselves. Though we'll now never know what 'really' happened in Reajneeshpuram, to get a more holistic idea about the whole thing, along with WWC I'd recommend watching Ashram in Poona (1981) by Wolfgang Dobrowolny and Fear Is the Master (1983). The latter is on Youtube and has an openly anti-Osho narrative. However, it could interest you with some specific details about why the people of Antelope were wary of him. Wild Wild Country is a interesting watch and could serve as an introduction to someone who's interested in learning more about 'The Osho Phenomenon'.

jodyfranz It's hard to believe the things that happened actually happened seems more like the work of Hollywood. Which of course makes for an excellent topic for a documentary so right off the bat this series is already got a win.The way they chose to show what was going on by mixing in actual news footage from the 80's was great. There was no real narrator it was all people talking or responding to questions that lay out what is/was happening. Even though this is 6 parts, it's so interesting and well told at a good pace it goes by fast.I found myself flipping all over the place trying to get a feel for who was really the bad guys here. By the end of it even though it didn't matter who was who or who did what I was crying. Any movie/show/documentary that can illicit emotions from my cold dead heart gets a good rating.
