The Age of Aluminium

"...I admire the film’s honest camera technique, like an observer chronicling the ills of mankind. I suspect some of his subjects might be upset that their comments appeared in this ultimately damning documentary. I can hear Erin Brockovich crying out for the damaged souls... There’s a lot of bad shit in the world. You wouldn’t think aluminium would be one of them. ”The Age of Aluminium” puts us on notice."
