Nice one northener, never seen that before. Thank you.
Saw the whole film years ago. Main memories were it was very long, and after arriving as it started in a dark cinema, giggling to find me and my girlfriend at the time were alone in a 600 seat cinema.
It was very arty lots of stunning images, youtube doesn't do it justice widescreen and big is what it needs. A cinema in fact - could be tricky!
I thought it was going to be like Tanjooberrymutts.

We watched this in school (don't know how legal that is) when we studied Glass's music. It was pretty hypnotic then too. Have seen it in the cinema since but it didn't have the same impact as it did the first time.
It's only 'Presented' by Coppolla. The director is Godfrey Reggio.
You should have a look at the other Qatsi films in the trilogy:
Naqoyqatsi (2002) aka: Naqoyqatsi: Life as War
Powaqqatsi (1988) aka: Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation
Koyaanisqatsi (1982) aka: Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance
Great films - great music.

This is interesting. More visually than musically but good.
