Koyaanisqatsi



Koyaanisqatsi is a Hopi word meaning 'life out of balance'. Director Godrey Reggio includes beautifully haunting imagery and the soundtrack by Phillip Glass compliments the images in a way that is kind of startling. When I first saw this film I was mesmerized. I still get goosebumps watching it. I will leave it to you to ascertain its meaning. The title gives us the needed hint to get us looking in the right direction.

This is the entire feature length film so get some popcorn! RR

(Note: You should double click on the video screen to see it in widescreen on YouTube.)
