Manufactured Landscapes

U / Jennifer Baichwal / 2006 / Manufactured Landscapes / Canada

A magnificently handsome documentary, worth watching alone for the re-creation of massive-scale works by Edward Burtynsky, who documents in widescreen hyperreality the scars created by gigantic industrial landscapes. This film finds the photographer travelling to an offshore breaking yard in Bangladesh filled with beached container ships; and to photograph China's rampant industrialisation. A stunning, intelligent film.

Savage Grace

Based on the award winning book this recounts the true crime tale of the death of Barbara Baekeland (Julianne Moore), who married above her class to Brooks Baekeland, the dashing heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune. Beautiful, red-headed and charismatic, Barbara is still no match for her well-bred husband. The birth of the couple's child, rocks the uneasy balance in this marriage of extremes. This is a fascinating, complex story, shot with a detached, minimalist simplicity against carefully designed interiors that evoke the New York, London, Paris and Spain of the time. This is a gripping, coldly brilliant and tremendously acted movie.
