Koyaanisqatsi (1982) is a documentary without dialogue, examining the contrasts between our technologically advanced urban life and vast natural landscapes. Director Godfrey Reggio and minimalist composer Philip Glass transcended language barriers through the universally accessible mediums of video and music, inviting each viewer to interpret the film as they choose.
