Archief - Welke film heb je vandaag gezien en wat vond je ervan ? (21)

In a sense Koya is about everything and nothing. It doesn't do single topics but instead it tries to provide you with a glimpse of the big picture. The viewer is allowed to choose what this movie is about which makes it art in its purest form. It can be about anything you want. There is no narration although one could argue that Philip Glass' music does a better job than any voice ever could have hoped to achieve. How much you like this movie depends on how much you are willing to invest in it. When you are under the influence of Koya you will see everyday things in new light.

Why does man do what he does? Why do we hate today what we love tomorrow? Why are cultures, ideologies, nations & religions so different? How did they end up that way and why do we cling to them? Man, nature and technology are at war while making love to one another. The landscape used to be shaped by erosion and animal trails... not anymore. Time touches everything. Change is always around the corner... Is that good or bad? Why? 4 Billion years ago there was no life here. Now there are more phones than people. Where will the next few million years take our species?

Koya is different. It's not just a movie, it's a catalyst for thought about the world we lived in, the world we have created and the world we will create. You can see this movie over and over again, each time looking at it through a different lens, be it from a naturalist, environmentalist, cultural, technological or other perspective, you will always experience/think new thoughts.

Amazing visuals, scored by the legendary Philip Glass, epic in scope and forces you to look at everything in new ways over and over again. One of my all-time favorite films. You should definitely check this one out!
