Koyaanisqatsi review

Visual Images
To start there is tribal paintings on cave walls with non diagetic chanting of koyaanisqatsi. Throughout the film there is big explosions of buildings.
There is very slow motion camera shots and very fast shots aswell.

When it shows the grand canyon and then the big cities, it is trying to show the difference between two things.

Audio
The music is all non diagetic, either soundtracks with good beats or a man chanting "koyaanisqatsi". The music ties in with the images like when it's slow motion then you have got slow music.

Concept
The concept is a big balance of opposites and contrast e.g. Violent but with calm music, New and old people and buildings, fast and slow camera shots.

My Thoughts
My thoughts of the film is that it's very boring and i would not buy it because there was no acting and just images with a little bit of background music it's not exciting in any way.

  1. Is it important if you would or would not buy it? Remember you are not writing a film review; instead think more about what the work is trying to say. I think you could elaborate more on the audio and visual elements of the work.
