A.K.A. Who needs to drop acid?
(Don't see it unless you a)have no expectations as to what kind of movie it is and b)can see it on a relatively large screen)

what'd you think of it?
there's another film much like koyaanisqatsi, i forget the name unfortunately, but between the two there's some of the most beautiful footage out there.

I loved this film. Like, we had just gone through three REALLY bad student experimental films that were giving me a headache (picture an hour's worth of Cycle de Vie), and when they put Koyaanisqatsi on it just blew me away. I've been watching all the cinematography classes that go through the Soundstage, and I really think all they need to do is show this movie. There is EVERY type of shot, and all beautifully executed.
Ok, I'm going to stop going on and on about it. Tell me if you find out the name of that other movie, though. Was it by the same

I was just asking was it by the same director?

watch all of these. while on or off acid, but perferably once each.
if you're serious about the film career, check these titles out. a mix primarily of Koyaanisqatsi-esque movies, some Kurosawa, and waking life which is just a cool sober/acid movie.

Even though the score is gorgeous, I can watch it with the sound off. Beautiful, beautiful shots.

I can see how it took nine years to shoot.
