Sorry!

This movie's page is incomplete. I hate to admit that I'd put a page on my site only to leave it as "under construction", but it's the easiest way for me to be reminded of the reviews left to write. In this case, I know pretty much what I want to say about this movie, but I have yet to actually type it all in. This message will no longer appear when the I consider the page to be complete. That doesn't mean it won't ever change after that, but you can bet that it's less likely.


Legacy

Godfrey Reggio made his debut with Koyaanisqatsi, one of the artiest films of all time. The dazzling array of time lapse and slow-motion footage, complemented by an extraordinary Philip Glass score, wowed audiences. I was introduced to Koyaanisqatsi through the music, which was spellbinding. The experience of watching the film was transcendant.

Naqoyqatsi is the third film in "Qatsi" trilogy. Although I've listened to the score for Powaqqatsi many times, I've never lasted through a viewing. I hoped against hope that Reggio would do something really thrilling with Naqoyqatsi.
