Abstract
This thesis examines the editing of the feature film Samsara (2011) by Ron Fricke. Samsara is not a documentary with a traditional narrative; however, the film conveys a very emotional story on a gut level where the narrator is hidden. The methodology used relies on a neoformalist approach and Karen Pearlman's insights on rhythm in film editing. Based on this, an in-depth analysis of each segment of Fricke's film is conducted, concerning not only its semantic and thematic function but also the film's rhythm in evoking the viewer's emotions.
