this is another shot taken from the godfrey reggio screentalk that i went to on tuesday. i had seen his film, koyaanisqatsi, once before. it was in the same cinema in a university lecture hosted by mark goodall, the bloke on the right of the stage. i wasn't properly prepared for watching a movie with no story so it took a while for me to get my head round it. i also recall struggling to keep awake. this time i knew what to expect but again had to try hard not to fall asleep. i'm not sure if that means that the movie is slightly hypnotic, plain boring, or that i was just tired both times.

it features lots of timelapse photography of motorways cut with slow motion shots of buildings falling down. yes, it's a strange film. overall i was glad i saw it again, if nothing just for the one shot of gigantic moon that floats past a skyscraper that just looks amazing.
