A Visual Experience by Godfrey Reggio

The renown styles of Godfrey Reggio (Koyaanisqatsi) return in his latest cinemagraphic ride, Visitors. No plot, no specific characters, but a picturesque slow-motion commentary on the nature of humankind. Reggio’s newest lesson? We are all just visitors. Presented by Steven Soderbergh in Black and White digital 4k footage and accompanied by a Philip Glass score, the world of Reggio will leave the ordinary world looking bland.
