The relationship between humans and their environment is the subject of this mesmerizing visual study from Ron Fricke, the cinematographer and editor of Koyaanisqatsi. The images -- which Fricke gathered from 24 countries -- range from the daily devotions of Tibetan monks and whirling dervishes to a cigarette factory and time-lapse views of the Hong Kong skyline. Diverse world music accompanies the visuals.
They give it a pretty good star rating and the reviews from Netflix viewers are generally favorable. The overwhelming comment is that the photography is incredible. I think I'll put it in my queue. Thanks! I don't think I would have come across it had you not mentioned it.
