Review of Our Daily Bread (2009) by Jack C — 13 Mar 2009
90 minutes of no voiceover and no music; only the hum of industrial machines and the occasional squawk of a chicken close to death. "Our Daily Bread" is a mesmerizing look at the food industry today.
By simply showing the viewer images filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter presents a stark and cold view of the modern food industry. Traveling across the globe, he and his team have captured some absolutely unique footage.
Going from corn fields to abattoirs, this films shows every side of where the food we eat come from. At times, this felt extremely cold and unemotional, but you need that when dealing with some of the themes present here.
A great, hypnotic, eye-opening film.
