Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance (DVD, 2002)

Beauty is where you find it.

I have seen this film several times and seeing it again is always an experience almost like the first viewing. It's powerful. This is about events and the dynamic balance of life that was already in a strange state 50 years ago when the film was made. There's no narration, no actors, no message in any specific way, but the pure vision is beautiful and that by itself is enough. It's both exhilarating and exhausting as you're left with hope for tomorrow and despair for today. The photography alone is a master work, but also the accompanying sound track by Phillip Glass sharpens the visuals with it's mantra-like chanting. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Time capsule from 1982

Aside from the incredible imagery, and the story line (don't let the director kid you; there's definitely an intended message), this film is particularly interesting to watch from a back-in-time perspective. Crowds of people reading news papers and not checking their cell phones. Crowds of people smiling and making eye contact. USA manufacturing scenes takes the viewer back to a time when you didn't have to go to Asia to find such scenes. Streets and freeways full of American built automobiles. Amazing how much things have changed, and not necessarily for the better...which was the prediction of the film.Vollständige Rezension lesen

A modern cinematic tour de force

The characters aren’t “engaging” simply because this film stars no “characters”—it is an astounding narrative, both a paean to, and a scathing commentary on, 20th century living... an example of cinema verité. It also features a lush score composed by Philip Glass. FIVE STARS.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Must see.

A unique observation of Man’s imbalance with nature. Hauntingly beautiful. No dialogue. Set to classical music.

Should be used in educational/environmental classes. Must see film.

More relevant now than ever before. I have watched it multiple times and each time I see something I missed in previous viewings.

It should be part of primary school education!

Outstanding director of photography, camera operators, production and of course music.

Dated

It was a good movie in its time, no doubt. But with the vast improvements in video and film, this movie is quite dated.
