Where "Koyaanisqatsi" dealt with the imbalance between nature and modern society, "Powaqqatsi" is a celebration of the human-scale endeavor the craftsmanship, spiritual worship, labor and creativity that defines a particular culture. It's also a celebration of rareness - the delicate beauty in the eyes of an Indian child, the richness of a tapestry woven in Kathmandu - and yet an observation of how these societies move to a universal drumbeat.

Fascinating. Again. Although Koyaanisqatsi had a greater impact on me, to give it less than a full rating would be an insult to the magnificent images and the heavenly music.
