"Workingman's Death" follows the trail of the 'Hereos' in the illegal mines of the Ukraine, sniffs out 'Ghost' among the sulfur workers in Indonesia, finds itself face to face with 'Lions'at a slaughterhouse in Nigeria, mingles with 'Brothers' as they cut a huge oil tanker into pieces in Pakistan, and joins Chinese steel workers in hoping for a glorious 'Future.'
It's a triumph of the human spirit that so many people in deadly jobs are able, nevertheless, to marry and have a few happy moments despite lives of hellish labor. Glawogger's intrepid camera finds both the shame and the grace in it.
Michael Glawogger's glamorized documentary observes laborers from around the world going to hell and back, day after day, year after year, to eke out subsistence livings.
Visually, technically, the film is undeniably a work of art, with all aspects -- sound, editing, cinematography, music -- coming together in a stunning symphony.
Se riuscite mettete le mani su questo documentario. Lo trovate sul sito di Internazionale. Shocking e lirico al contempo. Riesce a dare un vero senso al concetto di "ammazzarsi di fatica". Assolutamente da non perdere! Non per i deboli di stomaco nel capitolo che si occupa del mattatoio di Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
