Director Godfrey Reggio
Composer Philip Glass
"Koyaanisqatsi", Reggio's debut as a film director and producer, is the first film of the Qatsi trilogy. The title is a Hopi Indian word meaning "life out of balance." Created between 1975 and 1982, the film is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of two different worlds - urban life and technology versus the environment. The musical score was composed by Philip Glass.

Titled from a Hopi Indian word meaning "life out of balance," this unusual, lyrical film suggests that humanity is an ugly blight on the face of this beautiful planet. An awesome epic undersold by an adjective like "powerful." Sequel: POWAQQATSI.

KOYAANISQATSI was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2000.

Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out Of Balance Reviews:

"...A slick, naïve, chic, maddening, sometimes very beautiful movie....An oddball and...entertaining trip." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times

"...Awe-inspiring with its sweeping aerial wilderness photography..." -- Binn., Variety

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A Chance to think
Koyaanisqatsi offers the viewer a rare opportunity to enter into the film without someone else's plot to take you where they want you to go. A wonderful open-ended trip into where the viewer wants to go

5 stars I've been waiting for years!
Finally, Koyaanisqatsi in DVD format! Now, the spectacular vidoegraphy and music (Philip Glass) are represented in the format that does them both justice. Besides, even used VHS versions have not been available for less than $40. lately. This purchase was truly a special event. It was as stunning as when I first saw the film back in the early 80's.

5 stars A Seminal Film
Way back in the bleak early eighties, I saved up my wages for 4 weeks to go to the local cinema to see Koyaanisqatsi. It was well worth it and then some; this film colored my perceptions of Nature and Man ever after. To call it "naive" or "entertaining" is to miss the point entirely. This film was made by people who wanted to, just for a moment, pull the comfortable wool off from in front of our "civilized" eyes. I am very glad to see this important film available once again to the movie-buying public.

With a pulsing Philip Glass soundtrack graced by the beautiful cello music of Yo-Yo Ma, Godfrey Reggio's NAQOYQATSI is the final installment of his Qatsi trilogy, which also includes KOYAANISQATSI and POWAQQATSI. In this film, computer-enhanced imagery rolls across the screen to the tune of the Glass concert music. NAQOYQATSI makes a departure from the previous films, which centered on the often cruel but always fascinating struggle for survival on Earth. This film focuses mostly on technology, industry, and our increasingly machine-operated world, focusing on the United States. Not only ...

With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold ...
