“Art should be painful. It’s like if you have a boil, you want to lance it to get the pus out. Art should be like an art-opsy. It releases the tension. Art’s not a happy thing.” That's a Variety interview with director Godfrey Reggio, the legendary director behind the Qatsi trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi) who hasn't released a film in a decade, since Visitors. But boy, is he back, and with the help of Naqoyqatsi editor Jon Kane as editor and co-director. Their creation, Once Within a Time, is a perfect "art-opsy" and a truly unique experience.
