Powaqqatsi * Godrey Reggio * 1988
Second part in the Qatsi trilogy of which the third part “Naqoyqatsi” now plays in the Dutch cinemas. This time it is “life in transformation” and five years after the first part Reggio serves us with cultural images. Working people, people in the far east, temples, etc. A bit more of the same, but still different. Less tranquil music, but also less images of nature and I actually like the first half of “Koyaanisqatsi” best these images. Again a nice film, but one you should watch and read a book at the same time.
The third part is about ‘life in war’ by the way.
