One of the most purely cinematic experiences you can have in a room full of strangers. Taking its title from the Hopi word for "life out of balance," this wordless, plotless journey moves from untouched nature into the accelerating churn of cities and machines, revealing just how far humanity has drifted from the world it depends on. Built entirely from time-lapse and slow-motion imagery, with no dialogue and no narration, it lets Philip Glass's now-iconic score carry the argument instead. More than 40 years on, its vision of a world running faster than it can sustain hasn't lost any of its force. First film in the Qatsi trilogy.
