- Synopsis:
Miramax Home Entertainment and Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh present 'Naqoyqatsi' ("Life As War"), from filmmaker Godfrey Reggio, in collaboration with composer Philip Glass, whose original score features renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma. In this cinematic concert - a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Koyaanisqatsi ("Life Out Of Balance"), and Powaqqatsi ("Life In Transformation") - mesterising images plucked from everyday reality, then visually altered with state-of-the-art digital techniques, chronicle the shift from a world organised by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology, the synthetic and the virtual. Extremes of intimacy and spectacle, tragedy and hope fuse in a tidal wave of visuals and music, giving rise to a unique artistic experience that reflects Reggio's vision of a brave new globalized world. - Actors:
