Powaqqatsi
DVD Cert U 96mins
Powaqqatisi
is the sequel to Koyaanisqatsi with the same production team involved, filmed
throughout the southern hemisphere instead of the former’s northern
hemisphere.
Like it’s prequel, the film is a stream of stunning, beautifully composed
shots of interesting locations and people going about their day-to-day lives;
all to Philip Glass’ wonderfull music score which always seems to capture the
moment and create the perfect ambience.
Not everyone will appreciate this film and some will find it plainly boring.
If you are an observant, inquisitive type of person however, you will find
this film mesmerising, thought provoking and educational; and watching the
film is the sort of experience that is good for the soul too! Children will
also be transfixed by the constantly changing images and the wide
socio-geographical scope of the film would prove especially educational to
them.
Lastly, this film would look amazing on a large plasma screen (the larger the
better) and would be fantastic in the ‘background’ when entertaining or
eating for example; bar, club and restaurant owners take note!
