With a pulsing Philip Glass soundtrack graced by the beautiful cello music of Yo-Yo Ma, Godfrey Reggio's NAQOYQATSI is the final instalment of his Qatsi trilogy, which also includes KOYAANISQATSI and POWAQQATSI. In this film, computer-enhanced imagery rolls across the screen to the tune of the Glass concert music. NAQOYQATSI makes a departure from the previous films, which centred on the often cruel but always fascinating struggle for survival on Earth. This film focuses mostly on technology, industry, and our increasingly machine-operated world, focusing on the United States. Not only are its images largely computer-generated, the film is in itself about computer-generated images. Strings of numbers swirl into a tunnel of black and green code, rainbow-coloured Windows icons flash across the screen, and a glowing computerised globe twirls in programmed perfection. More natural imagery, such as a horse running, oceans waves crashing, or soldiers sounding off in formation, is displayed in computer-edited negative. While the visuals start to look like stock photography, their generic nature communicates another message about the narrowing of our vision as technology and industry facilitate the conversion to a more efficient, systemised, productivity driven global society.

Disappointing, to say the least......................
Having LOVED Koyanisqatsi I really wanted to see this, and the DVD club gave me the opportunity, but it was such a let down, and really did feel like a sequal.<... read more »

gasp- is this the future!?
This film has aged badly. After dribbling in wonderment for a couple of hours over the sumptuous visual tapestry that is Powaqqatsi, I strapped myself down in ... read more »

Just listen to the music
The visuals have their moments, but nowhere near as stunning as the first two installments. Disappointing ending... it just sort of stops, without a strong ... read more »
