Abstract

The essay makes a filmic analysis of documentary film Koyaanisqatsi (1983), part of a trilogy directed by Godfrey Reggio. Although the film has many formalism elements I would like to study his ideological traces either. I took like reference for a filmic segmentation the eleven parts that compound the DVD division. I would like to analyze the build of style in that film not only in itself but as key to understand its representations about the human figure and the city.
