Koyaanisqatsi (USA)
Life Out Of The Balance
Director: Godfrey Reggio
Footage: 87min
Year: 1982
It is composed of nature imagery, manipulated in slow motion, double exposure, juxtaposed with footage of humans' devastating environmental impact on the planet. The message of director is clear: humans are destroying the planet, and all of human progress is pointlessly foolish.
The camera and music start slowly, flowing along like a trickling stream and speed up to the views of cars, airplanes and masses of people rushing about like busy ants. The movie is like an epic poem of moving images and sounds.
