This. Koyaanisqatsi might be more important in cinematic history, but Baraka is actually enjoyable to watch.
IMHO the best use for Koyaanisqatsi is as an answer when playing charades.
- sfpotter 3y agoI find Koyaanisqatsi very enjoyable to watch.
- dhosek 3y agoBack in the 90s a bunch of us watched the whole movie by accident. Somehow it came up in conversation and the guy whose house we were in happened to have a copy on VHS and he put it in and we got so mesmerized that while we only intended to watch a few minutes of it, we watched the whole thing. There are two “sequels” to Koyaanisqatsi: Powisqatsi and Naqoyqatsi, both also with Philip Glass soundtracks.
- petercooper 3y agoI hugely prefer Koy to Baraka, but the world takes all sorts. Baraka just feels like a lot of nice vignettes in random sequence. Koy walks through themes, builds upon them, then repeats them. It's more like a symphony.
- detourdog 3y agoI think the aesthetic of Koyaanisqatsi had a large effect of on film aesthetics. Breaking Bad's best scenes IMO were the Timelapses which I found very reminiscent Koyaanisqatsi.
- badpun 3y ago> Koyaanisqatsi might be more important in cinematic history, but Baraka is actually enjoyable to watch. To each his own. I'm not sure I'd call watching Koyaanisqatsi exactly "enjoyable" (that sounds like it's cheapening the experience), but I've seen it at least 5 times.
