Workingman's Death
2005, 2h 2min -
Michael Glawogger’s startling, unflinching look at some of the world’s most dangerous jobs is an eye-opening confrontation with the kind of backbreaking, life-threatening labor that is often rendered invisible. Shooting amid the harsh conditions of volcanic sulfur mines in Indonesia, a ship-breaking yard in Pakistan, a Nigerian butcher’s market, a Chinese steel mill, and beyond, Glawogger captures images of overwhelming, sometimes almost apocalyptic power set to an entrancing score by John Zorn.
