Manufactured Landscapes
2007
More than a simple portrait of an artist, this documentary about celebrated photographer Edward Burtynsky is also an examination of industrialization and globalization. Known for finding strange beauty in large industrial vistas, Burtynsky searches for great shots on trips to China and Bangladesh. In contrast to his seemingly impersonal aesthetic, the film focuses on individuals, revealing the dreariness and dangers of industrial work.

Documentary
Documentary of an amazing photographer, and as you'd expect the visuals are incredible and excellent. Nicely restrained narration. However, the pace drags quite a bit, particularly in the latter half.
