This is from Variety’s review of the film <http://variety.com/2014/film/festivals/cannes-film-review-the-salt-of-the-earth-1201188584/>: 'Although “The Salt of the Earth” contains numerous scenes of Sebastiao shooting, there’s little discussion of his working methods and zero mention of artistic influences. Wenders’ narration contains more than a few choice platitudes — “he looked into the heart of darkness” and such —but the visuals and subject are so strong that they’re easily ignored.’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] “...we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness..." - David Whyte -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
