" Koyaanisqatsi is truly one mesmerizing film. Filmed at the beginning of the 1980‘s, its documentary footage of various sectors of the world at the time really succeeds at painting a picture of modernity, captured within the realms of the ever-present natural world. Essentially, this is the art of cinema in its purest form. Devoid of any true characters or conventional narrative, it is a poetic marriage of image and sound that speaks volumes with its aura of sheer simplicity that is easy to un"

That said, there is a central idea behind the movie, and according to the director it is this: The greatest event in the history of mankind has occurred recently, and has been largely missed by both the media and academia.

"Strange movie, first and best part of a trilogy. Begins in slow motion and keeps going faster, in order to show the human society and its effects on nature and people from an original point of view. Very special, and magnificent score from philip Glass."

Of course the technology we have invented and all the other inventions of men are, according to the film, wrong and making us live "a life out of balance". That's the only point and the message of this film. The only one. And it's blatantly obv"
