In my mind this work is the GEB of video. And its themes are related. Seen the movie approx 20 times. For me it's the most successful work of minimalist music ever, the best music to footage match I've seen (Danny Elfman does pretty well too I guess) and a deeply important view of earth, life and humanity that invites you to transcend your individualism and individualistic vantage point for a short while. Brian Eno, speaking at the long now foundation recently, referred to long term patterns in human life as 'the cycles of time' vs 'the arrow of progress' and there is absolutely no movie that better shows this odd meta-pattern on Earth of cycles and lines combining, sometimes very obviously and sometimes more subtly. Watch it anywhere but watch it without ads [turn off your phone, get over your worry about being bored and see if your mind won't tune in]
