Naqoyqatsi

Synopsis

In the amazing documentaries Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, director Godfrey Reggio combined film of jaw-dropping scenes from around the world with unforgettable music to build up an epic portrait of a natural world that was careering off balance. In the third part of the series, Naqoyqatsi (a Hopi Indian word for "war as a way of life"), he turns his attention to the modern age of technology, machinery, and virtual reality. The results are as stunning as they often are frightening.
