Review of Manufactured Landscapes (2006) by François M — 26 May 2012
Director Jennifer Baichwal seems willing to let Ed Burtynsky's photos tell the story - without preaching or finger-pointing. The dramatic opening pans the length of a Chinese mega-factory and quietly sets the tone for this introspective look at our altered world. Indeed, I occasionally found myself longing for a more explosive Philip Glass-like score.
Baichwal and her DP Peter Mettler often struggle with the murky Chinese light - and undoubtedly long for a bigger budget.
