Released in 1983, Koyaanisqatsi is a musique and documentaire film directed by Godfrey Reggio, running about 86 minutes. “Une vie déséquilibrée” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Sur une musique de Philip Glass se succèdent des images de nature, de vies sociales, d'individus, de paysages somptueux arrachés à la paix de la Création par des bulldozers, des brouillards de pollution... Ce film nous emmène dans des lieux situés aux quatre coins des États-Unis et nous montre le lourd tribut que la technologie moderne fait payer aux humains et à la planète. Ce poème visuel ne contient ni dialogue ni narration vocale : son ton est donné par la juxtaposition d'images et la musique exceptionnelle de Philip Glass.
