Koyaanisqatsi (1982)
7/10
watch this BEFORE Baraka
17 December 2022
Well, few months ago I watched Baraka and i was in awe how good it was. Ron Fricke did amazing job with that movie (even better than the next one he made). I am a hobby photographer, but i spent most of the time with my mouth wide open in surprised delight. 10/10 because i can't give more than that.

Anyway, after that movie i browsed what else would be like it and I found this one. And well... it's so much worse. Ok, let me reprhase - Baraka set such a high bar, that I doubt anyone will be jumping over it, or even touch it... Saying this, this movie here is NOT bad ,it still has the same vibe, it still has good shots , interesting slow motions, panings, long exposures and so on, and it may even have more "meaning" in the shots. But my rating 5/10 is only because Baraka set my bar too high. But after that, this movie couldn't keep me glued to the screen. It lacked something of these wow-shots to keep your eyes on the screen the whole time.

So if you are into such kind of movies, my advise is to watch this before Baraka, that way you will still be very pleased with this one, and then you'd get a climax from Baraka.
