Naqoyqatsi is the third and final film in the Qatsi trilogy, meaning "life as war". Just like it's predecessors Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi the music was composed by Philip Glass. Performed by members of the Philip Glass Ensemble, and featuring the amazing Yo-Yo Ma on cello, this completes the lengthy score which was begun for this film series with "Koyaanisqatsi" in 1982. The music is more traditional orchestral than much of Glass's work. One instrument, the cello, plays through much of the piece. Some unconventional instruments are used in addition to traditional ones, including a didgeridoo and an electronically-created jaw harp. Conducted by Michael Riesman.

世界で高い評価を受ける映像作家、ゴッドフリー・レジオによる2002年のアーティスティックムービー。サウンドトラック再発売！演奏にヨーヨー・マが参加。
トラックリストオープニングに映し出されるデジタル加工されたピーテル・ブリューゲルの名画“バベルの塔”。それを皮切りに、巨大な廃墟ビルやデジタル処理された数々のニュース映像が次々と散りばめられる。そして、それらの映像が「クンドゥン」のフィリップ・グラスによる音楽、ヨーヨー・マの奏でるチェロとしなやかにシンクロしていく。またさらに、未だ現代まで絶え間なく続いている戦争と暴力の歴史が、やはりデジタル加工された映像で矢継ぎ早に放たれ、人間の犯してきた罪を痛烈に思い知らされる…。
