aka Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance
An enthralling journey into beauty and chaos created from imagery and editing; there's no dialogue. Natural vistas contrast with man-made structures. Rock formations that take millennia to develop are followed by industry built strength created in seconds. It makes the immense seem small. It's life under a very large microscope. Sometimes I was unsure just what I was seeing, but there was no denying the beauty of it all; it's a visual treat that may also make inquisitive viewers think about the world around them in new ways.
The music of composer Philip Glass is used throughout the entire film. His unique style functions as a kind of glue that holds everything together and helps elevate the ordinary to extraordinary proportions.

Saw a trailer for his new one.
Re-teamed with Glass.
Looks like a visual feast as well.
If you ever do sit down to it, make sure you're in the mood for a film with no dialogue. I know you like Glass so chances are good you'd enjoy most of it.
Seen this a long time ago.
I enjoyed it.
Saw another one...don't recall if it was the 2nd or 3rd.
Film school viewing.
