If you haven't heard, the film Koyaanisqatsi (with ground breaking score by Philip Glass) has been released from its legal stranglehold and is now available on DVD! Koyaanisqatsi and its sequel Powaqatsi are now both available in remastered formats. I bought the DVD's today, they look and sound fabulous. They are available right now as a twin package for 29.98 SRP or seperately for 19.98. I got the twin pack for 26.99 at Amoeba in Hollywood.
This release is in advance of the final chapter of the Qatsi trilogy Naqoyqatsi. A trailer is available on the DVD. Suffice it to say the new visuals are stunning, you owe it to yourself to seek out this film when it is released in October.
The titles of the films are Hopi words. Koyaanisqatsi means life out of balance, Powaqatsi means life in transition, and Naqoyqatsi means war life. The trilogy explores the unnatural world that man has created, without words, characters or scripts; it is a paegant of visual images and beautiful music that clearly demonstrate how our human presence has obliterated nature.
The theme of the new film Naqoyqatsi is the propostition that there is no more nature, there is only technology, and that everyday life is war. An especially poignant theme given the current climate in our civilization.
I encourage you to explore www.koyaanisqatsi.org to learn more. These are great films that you will really enjoy, I am sure.
