Beautiful film with incredible direction by Godfrey Reggio and a Philip Glass score.

Apart from this film and the 2 sequels, I don't think I've seen anything else that attempts this kind of direct visual poetry without plot or really an explicit message.

I see it as an environmentalist film but I guess you could as easily see it as a tribute to humanity's accomplishments.

I'm sure there must be other films like this... Can anyone suggest any!

Edited to say Reggio is the director, not the cinematographer.
