Koyaanisqatsi

Wow. After viewing this breathtaking documentary, I literally felt as if I'd been travelling for an hour!  At first, the film concentrates on nature, and as it progresses, it focuses on the effects man has on the world. Everyone experiences and takes something different from this documantary, so it's difficult to try and explain it to others. I definitely think it's a film that you have to experience firsthand rather than hearing about it or reading reviews from others. Despite the wonderful reviews I read, I was still bit skeptical at first considering the documentary has no words, but the score by Philip Glass combined with the footage by Godfrey Reggio is genius. The fact that there's no commentary only adds to the full effect and makes it even more exhilarating!
