It was a factory alright
A visual poem whose cinematic rhythms are as significant as its political underpinnings.
Neither the workers nor the work itself is inherently demonized or glorified. The film just shows them to us. And the objective nature of things forces us to arrive at certain conclusions, mainly the alienation from labour, that Marx described. By showing machines as well we see, that the people perform eerily similar tasks. Over all this film is just brutally simple and honest. Powerful stuff."ГЛИНА""CLAY"
