Does anyone know when the DVD release date is?
Ive watched both Koyaanisqatsi, and Powaqqatsi, and I have the soundtracks to Koyaanisqatsi and Naqoyqatsi (having a hard time finding Powaqqatsi) but Im going mad! I NEED to see this movie!
I listen to the soundtrack everyday, without fail... and Im DIEING to see the movie...
:(
Any info?

I saw Naqoyqatsi in theatres it was amazing....I'm afraid to say though that I don't know the release date, I have the first 2 on dvd. Naqoyqatsi was good but they used too many special effects, although it did seem to fit with the theme.

Funk: The movies are open to interpretation... but they are pretty much commentaries on the world.
There is no plot or dialouge... its just beautiful film shots of nature, and technology.
After I wathced the first 2, I always had a feeling of, jesus christ, technology is evil.
But anyways, its just these great images against Philip Glasses music. Breathtaking... (good when high as well!)
But I actually heard the music before ever seeing the films, and they are amazing on thier own. I seriously listen to at least one of the CDs a day!
HIGHLY reccomended!

apparently Philip Glass is a good friend of Paul Simon... I watched a Classic Albums show about Simons Graceland album, and they interviewed Philip Glass...

Funk: Koyannisqatsi is the original, so I suggest you see that one first (I mean, why not?) The music is orchestral
Powaqqatsi is the second one, and is a mixture of orchestral, and world music... also amazing
and they both have some choir bits, that are phenomonal.

I found Koyaanisqatsi DVD but the a lot of reviews say that the screen ratio was severly mangled and you cant see the entire frames, its like watching the movie with 1/4 of the bottom cut off.

It always was supposed to be a trilogy but lack of funding was the main reason for the delay on putting out naqoyqatsi.
Baraka isn't part of the qatsi trilogy. Baraka is directed by Ron Fricke. He was the cinematographer on the qatsi movies. Baraka is great though. As the qatsi movies tend to be dated as they are quite some years old.

i didn't like naqoykatsi. it looked amateur, and the computer graphics cheapened it. glass' music was derivative and boring in this film imo.

the work he did for 'the hours' seems to me to be extremely similar to some of the music from his opera 'satyagraha'. from what i've heard on 'songs from the trilogy', at least. this kind of threw me off, because i felt like i'd heard it before and so i couldn't quite enjoy it as something new. loved the movie as a whole, though.

Oh, wow... Philip Glass... master of the understated overstated! :) Seriously though, he makes the most with the spare melodic pinches he gets himself into. I also enjoy the Candyman soundtrack, that melody gets me every time. He inspired a lot of "trance" ;)
