Koyaanisqatsi
A quick look around the world and its being. It seems that the world is full of observations worthy of viewing, so this film shows the world in its original form without prejudice and without human intervention in it. A collection of images of nature has been incorporated in its basic form away from the noise of industry and human inventions.

Whether or not the movie exposes a world that is manifestly out of balance, Reggio and Glass's liturgy is that rarest of art forms: an avant-garde work with purpose and substance that also succeeds as entertainment.September 20, 2001
What makes this film great is its structure, the fact that photography, editing and music alone can combine to form an epic, 90-minute composition that coheres.July 05, 2004
