Four men work in isolation at remote scientific and industrial sites around the world in Giorgio Ferrero’s ravishingly beautiful debut documentary feature, a transfixing work about the origins of consumer society imbued with a musical sense of rhythm.
Q&A with Giorgio Ferrero
This wildly ambitious documentary follows four men who work in isolation at remote scientific and industrial sites around the world. Like monks, they carry out their daily tasks in silence and solitude, creating products soon to enter the capitalist cycle of production, consumption, and destruction. A ravishingly beautiful audiovisual experience, Giorgio Ferrero’s debut feature is a transfixing work about the origins of consumer society imbued with a musical sense of rhythm (Ferrero is also a composer and sound editor) and a wealth of aesthetic ideas about the way we live now.
