# Haha.
*imagines no-one will recognise the film*

Better than the other two though. Naqoyqatsi is especially terrible.

# I did at least leave the filename :)
So Powaqatsi and the other one not up to much?

# Not seen Powaqatsi, but from the looks of the description its in a similar vein to koyaanisqatsi.
Naqoyqatsi on the other hand is loads of really crap digital effects which wouldn't look out of place in tron or a really really early special effects picture.

Despite the fact it was made in 2002.

I mean yeah. This is a great idea, if we ALL do it. And if anyone actually has the time to read any of the answers before they drop off the page then we have failed.

# qoyannisqaatsi
or however its spelt and powaqaatsi as said before are AWESOMELY rich in photography, and if you like Philip Glass' music, then theres that to overwhelm you too

# I recommend it
So long as you don't mind the randomness of the delivery order. High priority mostly works, too

# baraka's just full of spacked out indians performing rituals
koyaanisqatsi focusses on the subject of 'what the hell are we doing'. Better subject imho.

Both filmed by the same man btw.

# to be fair
the whole point of the film is to NOT be about anything and provoke the viewer into his own interpretation.
