Savage Eden

Egads! Godfrey Reggio, Philip Glass, and Ron Fricke -- i.e., the team behind the amazing Koyaanisqatsi -- are working on a new project: Savage Eden. I can't really figure out what it's about.

Update: An interview with Reggio and Glass says it's about "consumerism and fundamentalism" and will be the first Reggio film to use actors.

Update 2: And how could I miss this? The fourth collaborator is George Meyer, the most involved Simpsons writer and producer out there. This only makes it stranger.

A movie about ISMs. Cool concept; I'm enormously skeptical. Though I loved Koyaanisqatsi, the remaining two thirds of the trilogy left me wanting that sense of Koyaanisqatsi awe--but it never delivered.

Yeah, Geoff, right there wth you. Except that I've never seen any of their other movies.

Man, Jesse, I can't believe I haven't forced you to watch Koyaanisqatsi yet.

When you were away, they made me watch Baraka. Heavy influence. I think that woulda been your moment. Maybe I'll take the initiative this summer.
