Koyaanisqatsi

What your cinephile uncle either sings in the shower or shouts down a bridge to hear the ball busting echo.

koyaanisquatsi

Noun: A movie from 1983 that completely lacks plot. It is made up of various scenes filmed to different forms of music. It is 87 minutes long. The full name of the film is Koyaanisquatsi: Life Out of Balance.

In a momment of stupidity, I turned on Koyaanisquatsi: Life Out of Balance and, 87 minutes later, felt very confused.
