Koyaanisqatsi

Landscapes, cities and human movement form an experience without dialogue-led narrative. The reference year follows Criterion’s catalogue, which lists 1983.

What to watch for

Notice how image speed and Philip Glass’s music change your sense of time. This documentary is a visual construction, not a neutral inventory. Pay attention to sound and comparisons between natural and urban sequences.

After viewing: a question to discuss

Which sequence feels fastest: because of image movement, editing or music?
