The Blue Planet (Modrá Planeta) (1977)

The Blue Planet presents a compelling cinematic tour of our world, simple and straight-forward. No dialogue, other than some faintly incidental (and un-subtitled) Italian. No characters, no story. No thematic shaping, as in "Koyaanisqatsi" or "Baraka," just a portrait of some things found on planet Earth. Interestingly, it's impossible to say just how far afield the movie takes us. It could all be in a two-mile radius, or it could be all over the globe. But the selection of images creates a moving snapshot of the Earth.
