Films and TV shows that feel like The Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance

A vast, sacred lament that feels like standing before the sublime: mourning, awe and transcendence in one slow rising voice.

1. Baraka (1992): The song's famous home: it scores the film's images of ritual, pilgrimage and the earth's grandeur.
2. Samsara (2011): Baraka's spiritual successor, with the same wordless, awe-filled look at human ritual and impermanence.
3. Koyaanisqatsi (1983): A music-driven meditation on the world and humanity's place in it, with no dialogue.
4. The Tree of Life (2011): Sacred choral music, cosmic imagery and grief reaching toward the divine.
5. The Fountain (2006): Love, death and transcendence across centuries, with a hushed, spiritual atmosphere.
6. Gladiator (2000): Lisa Gerrard's voice carries its elegiac, otherworldly moments of loss and the afterlife.
7. Andrei Rublev (1966): A somber, spiritual epic of faith, suffering and creation in medieval Russia.
8. Cosmos (2014): Reverent, sweeping wonder at the universe and our small place within it.
