If you can’t get to the screening of Godfrey Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi at Avery Fisher Hall (on Nov. 2 and 3 in New York), where Philip Glass’s score for the film will be performed live by the New York Philharmonic and the Philip Glass Ensemble, or if you can get over there but can’t afford to get in, screw it. You can watch the flick online for free (full screen, too). Music included, of course.
There are five interruptions for one-minute ads, but you can skip each of them after five seconds.
Postscript: As soon as I can get it scanned, I’ll post an extensive interview I did with Godfrey Reggio back in the ’80s when Koyaanisqatsi was developing its well-earned rep. Whew! He was a fabulous subject.
PPS: Oct. 28 — It’s posted.
