IMHO Baraka and Samsara are much more realized versions of the idea behind Koyaanisqatsi.
- iooi 6y agoRon Fricke, the man behind Baraka and Samsara, was the director of photography (and writer, editor) for Koyaanisqatsi. I would keep in mind how novel Koyaanisqatsi was for its time, and that Baraka and Samsara are mere evolutions on a revolutionary film.
- noema 6y agoHave to disagree - personally found those films to be too heavy-handed with their "message". Koyaanisqatsi maintains a certain ambiguity throughout, conveying both awe and fear at modern civilization.
- barbecue_sauce 6y agoA little too realized if you ask me. And with worse music.
- superduperuser 6y agoThe photography and cinematography in Samara were far beyond what Koyaanisqatsi accomplished. I can easily conjure up the images from Samsara in my mind only have watched it twice.
