Consuming Capitalism: A Taste of the American Landscape
Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: hiszpański
In this experimental-short, director Peter Bolte engages us in an introspective questioning of our current social state. Consisting of images gathered during a car trip from Boston, MA to Hastings, NE, the American landscape in its many incantations is presented, compared and contrasted. The industrial wastelands found along the New Jersey Turnpike stand alongside nature's butterfly and eccentricities created by outsider artists. "Rational" structures, such as fast-food, are juxtaposed against the "irrational" mom-and-pop establishments. Correlations between man and machine also receive treatment.
