Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 04/07/2024 An Hallowing Documentary that goes into mining in Mongolia that's interesting and disturbing See more 02/27/2020 Absolutely stunning cinematography. However, content feeds the white / colonizer's gaze... self-orientalising director who knows what would work well with a predominantly western audience. See more 08/22/2017 Brave and beautiful film about the coal and iron industries in China. It's brave as it's showing how it damages the nature and landscape and it's beautiful since it's shot so near and uncut. Lovely colors, great clouseups of faces and resorces. It's a documentary - a silent one. Few words are uttered and when there are some, the picture often pauses with some cool cutting imagery effect, like a rotated and mirrored puzzle with a fetus positioned nude dude lying around. A technical treat and a stab in the guts for enviormental hearts. It's horrible in a way, but it's mastering the art of being informative and meditative at the same time. Silent and slow, dirty but crisp. Somehow hypnotizing, mysterious. It got some Mongolian throat singing, other scenes are filled with industry noise. It's art made to observe and digest, still it's just the harsh reality and the daily life of thousands of workers. 8.5 out of 10 drops of sweat. See more 01/27/2017 A meditative look at the cost of industrialisation in a condensed timeline and the people it leaves behind. See more 08/13/2016 I enjoyed this film primarily for the sublimity and enormity of the images, and the eeriness of the tall empty city, the hidden observer nature of the setting See more 04/16/2016 Self-destroying China.
