Naqoyqatsi - Godfrey Reggio
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
Life as war.
Godfrey Reggio's continuation of the Qatsi trilogy. In this cinematic concert, mesmerising images are plucked from everyday reality, then visually altered with state-of-the-art digital techniques. The result is a chronicle of the shift from a world organised by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology, the synthetic and the virtual. Extremes of intimacy and spectacle, tragedy and hope fuse in a tidal wave of visuals and music, giving rise to a unique, artistic experience that reflects the vision of a brave new globalised world.
