Koyaanisqatsi, (part 2) - An unusual motion picture with an unusual name
Warning! Spoiler!
I included the part at the end in which the word, "Koyaanisqatsi" is explained, so just letting you know.
The last ten minutes of the film happen to be the best IMO, this is when the message of the film is really driven home. The music has a very haunting quality. People who know of this film either hate it or love it. Those who desire a conventional approach to film tend to "zone out" or give up watching, which is understandable considering it's an hour and a half of jumbled imagery and music. However, watching this movie all the way through can be very rewarding. Just remember to bring your best focus and concentration, and as always, headphones or a good sound system.
I understand this is actually the first part of a movie trilogy, though I don't own those yet. Tell me what you think.
Produced by Francis Ford Coppola
Directed by Godfrey Reggio
Music by Philip Glass
Coming up I'll feature Terry Gilliam's new film "Tideland", an excellent adaptation of a novel of the same name. Maybe some of Kubrick's lesser known stuff too.
Enjoy!
