American filmmaker best known for non-narrative, experimental films and the Qatsi trilogy; frequent collaborator with composer Philip Glass.

Best known for the Qatsi trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi). Koyaanisqatsi (highlighted in the reviews) is a largely wordless film scored by Philip Glass and noted for its juxtaposition of music and edited imagery.

Reviews highlight Koyaanisqatsi as a nearly wordless visual-music composition that pairs Philip Glass's score with striking, often fast-forwarded images. Critics praise the film's exploration of contemporary life and its assembly-line modernity. The work is presented as contemplative and formally daring.

For:Fans of experimental, contemplative cinema and film-music enthusiasts

 Surely it would be far less pleasant to watch this film without the music than to listen to this music without the images, especially because the music was composed by none other than Philip Glass.
