Amazing film but more importantly the score by Phillip Glass is incredible.


Who else agrees?

Appreciate to hell. God this film and its music are amazing. My dad pushed it on me when I was young, but I love(d) it all the same.

Also, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi are amazing.

Rankings, anyone? I'd say Koyan, Naqoy, Powaq

AMAZING film, though i'm not as into the soundtrack — the highlight for me, by far, is "The Grid."

Loved the movie. Loved the music. Introduced me to Philip Glass.

This film is Captivating. I remember checking out the first few minutes to try and see what it was all about, and suddenly, two hours had past and my jaw was on the floor. It says so much, but yet in such a subtle manner.

I watched this in music class about eight or nine years ago. Terrific film, and I absolutely loved the music. Just recently, I was thinking about looking for it and watching it again.

This, how he keeps the engine perfectly in view as to make it look like its floating is incredible.
