This documentary took my breath away. Quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines, dams. Renowned artist Edward Burtynsky photographs civilization’s materials and debris, in a way people describe as “stunning” or “beautiful”. If Al Gore’s noble but yawner of a doc, An Inconvenient Truth woke you up to the plight of the eco-system, Manufactured Landscapes will shake your senses into a whole new reality. The imagery of what’s really happening — the Thailand beach where old oil rigs are dissembled, the Chinese villagers picking apart computer mother boards — will astound you.
