Leave your thoughts about Naqoyqatsi.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittIts best moments offer a sense of motion-picture poetry that will lift receptive viewers out of their seats. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanFilmmaking at its purest and most visceral – a tale full of sound and visual fury, signifying, if not exactly nothing, then something not so readily articulated in words. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaThere are extraordinary collisions of image and music here that make for some breathtaking sequences, but when that portentous, Gregorian-chanting chorus kicks in with its repetitive mantra of the film's title, it sure sounds a whole lot like they're saying "narcolepsy," not "naqoyqatsi." |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsImages wash over you like wind-blown rain, fierce and beautiful at the same time, largely shaped into themes by the haunting music of Philip Glass, who is here joined by cellist Yo-Yo Ma. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoWho needs mind-bending drugs when they can see this. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI have problems with Naqoyqatsi as a film, but as a music video it's rather remarkable. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyReggio, who is sufficiently eager for a large audience that he has allowed his film to be distributed by Miramax, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Walt Disney Co., surely one of the villains in his piece, is neither so honest nor so bold (as Moore's "Bowling for Columbine"). |
| San Francisco ChronicleOctavio RocaPassionate visual indictment of the perilous state of our high-tech world. |
| Chicago TribunePatrick Z. McGavinThe film is a disturbing and frighteningly evocative assembly of imagery and hypnotic music. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIf Microsoft and Nike ever merged into one corporate megalith (MicroNike?) and commissioned Leni Riefenstahl to direct its visionary new Super Bowl commercial, the result might look something like Godfrey Reggio's Naqoyqatsi. |
