'Koyaanisqaitsi' is a truly unique film.
There is not really what you would call a conventional plot, and the film contains absolutely no dialogue - yet paradoxically it makes for far more ominous and moving viewing than your average Hollywood slush. The speeded-up vision of industrial society creates the effect in the viewer of perceiving the world's major cities as being enormous, chaotic, interrelated organisms, while it's stunning view of nature makes you realize just how precarious and yet powerful the Earth can be. Truly unique, even if many would not even classify it as a movie in the conventional sense.
