KOYAANISQATSI

Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, is a 1983 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means 'crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living', and the film implies that modern humanity is living in such a way. The film is the first in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is followed by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film. However, due to copyright issues, the film was out of print for most of the 1990s.

I saw it on TV one time in the 80's, and it has stuck with me since :)

It is a very good film, often imitated.
Just one point. It has not been out of print in the UK as I have seen it regularly in stores as a single disc and as part of a boxed set.
So if you are looking to purchase it, the UK would be the place to start looking

it isn't currently out of print in the US either; it and Powwaqqatsi were rereleased when Naqoyqatsi came out. tho i seem to recall complaints about the quality of the dvd transfer (of Koy) at the time.
thanks for the upload, i look forward to seeing this again.

Thank you so much for this...just saw a reference to this film on The Simpsons and had to know what it was. From what I've read it looks amazing...can't wait to watch it.
