My take on "Manufactured Landscapes", 11 November 2007
5/10
Author: wanderingstar from Toronto

I have mixed feelings on this film. On the one hand the images are stunning, desolate and beautiful. The photographer proves there can be beauty even in ecological devastation, which is really a foreign concept. The segments on the Three Gorges Dam and the shipbreaking beach in Bangladesh are fascinating.

On the other hand, the film often is a slide show of images without narration. When that happens it seems very, VERY slow. I know the director probably wants us to be able to absorb these images without being distracted by narration, but it makes for a mind numbing experience.

In the "special features" there was lots of fascinating narration - if they had added this to the film I would have enjoyed it more.
