Our daily bread - a great green documentary
If you from enjoyed reading the Omnivore Dilemma you most likely will be fascinated (and at times disturbed) by the documentary (2006 - see the ) directed and photographed by Austrian filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter.
Manohla Dargis in her describes it as "an unblinking, often disturbing look at industrial sustenance producing from field to plant "
Lisa Schwarzbaum in her for Entertainment Weekly writes: "What the activist drama intemperately chow polity does with talk and the aid of silent picture stars, Our diurnal Bread... does despite control superiors, with no expression-over and no more than a word spoken by the nameless workers concerned in stuff-of-fact killing and harvesting. The camera innocently looks, with unflinching interest, as plants and animals are processed (in European industrial settings) into the aliment we eat. It's up to the viewer to make out tastes of horror, compassion, and awe at the efficiency involved in such matters of death and sparkle. "
Kenneth Duran points out that: "Despite this fall short of of detailing, "Our continually Bread" never fails to enthrall because of the impeccable intention — shaping, respecting color, for gesticulation within the frame — of filmmaker Geyrhalter. While his camera commonly does not move, it invariably captures visuals that brook us on a career divergent from any other because it is so otherworldly as well as so everyday. "
