This link takes you to:
* " KOYAANISQATSI " 1982
( which means in American Indian lingo ' life out of balance ' ).
Duration: 1 hour 26 minutes 4 seconds.
Music by: Philip Glass.
Presented by TV.GUIDE.COM
( with minimal ADs ).
QUOTE:
An art-house circuit sensation, this feature-length documentary
is visually arresting and possesses a clear pro-environmental
stance. Koyaanisqatsi is composed of nature imagery,
manipulated in slow motion, double exposure or time lapse,
juxtaposed with footage of human's devastating environmental
impact on the planet. The message of director Godfrey Reggio is
clear: humans are destroying the planet, and all of human
progress is pointlessly foolish.
PERSONAL NOTE:
Back in 1982 I saw this movie at a fine art theater with my
artist/friend Andrea Way up in Chevy Chase, Maryland. We both
walked out after seeing this great film....very moved.
For those who are curious to view the artworks of my artist/friend
Andrea Way.........here's the link:
