Impact of Progress

About This Movie

So, "Impact of Progress" is a fascinating dive into the minds of Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass, where they reflect on their collaborative works, particularly "Powaqqatsi" and "Naqoyqatsi." You get this slow, meditative vibe that Reggio's films are known for. It’s like peeling back layers of thought on themes of technology, culture, and the human experience. The way Glass's score intertwines with the visuals creates an immersive atmosphere, making it less of a standard documentary and more of an experience. The pacing feels deliberate, almost hypnotic, which can be polarizing but speaks volumes about their artistic vision. It’s distinctive in its approach to filmmaking, capturing a certain essence of contemplation that’s hard to find elsewhere.
