This film likely won’t appeal to most viewers. Still, it might hold some value when viewed under specific circumstances. I've encountered this film described as a documentary, but I am unsure if Godfrey Reggio intended to document anything at all. Considering that this was the director’s first project, there is certainly an element of quality present, even though the result is rather peculiar—essentially just a soundtrack and a series of images that don’t appear connected. If it's meant as experimental cinema, I also struggle to grasp what the director was trying to explore. Creating a film without a script or narrative? It feels similar to those looping image sequences often displayed in waiting rooms for people passing the time. And the title itself—I initially assumed it had something to do with Croatia or the Balkans until I looked into it and decided to see the movie. Then, I learned that it’s actually a term from the Hopi language signifying a state of imbalance. Without a conventional script, actors, or spoken dialogue (the title is intoned in a somewhat ominous Gregorian chant at the beginning and end, but I consider this simply part of the music), we are presented with these images and the accompanying soundtrack. Ultimately, it comes across as a silent commentary on contemporary life compared to times before industrialization. That’s my impression anyway. And is it a worthwhile film? Perhaps as an introduction to discussions about environmental concerns or as something to prompt reflection. Those who aren't interested in those kinds of debates will probably find it isn't worth their time.
