Koyaanisqatsi

In the Hopi Language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means "unbalanced life".

This masterpiece goes back to 1982, when two genius worked together.

Fortunately Godfrey Reggio and Ron Fricke where on the same vibration so a new film style was born. 

"The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. Reggio explained the lack of dialogue by stating "it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live."  

The film is the first in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is followed by Powaqqatsi (1988) & Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology."

The consequences of this creation were Baraka (1992) and in the new millennium Samsara (2011). 

I would say these films have a transcendental message hard to find, uneasy to hold...
