Human

The cinematography of this documentary is breathtaking. There are obvious similarities to Godfrey Reggio’s filmic concepts ("Koyaanisqatsi", "Powaqqatsi", "Visitors"), but the overall design - the confrontation of distance shots of natural, cultivated or urban landscapes on the one hand with faces in close-up shaped by daily life, emotional responses and existential experiences on the other hand - is unique.

The intimate confessionals were transfixing, while I found much of the aerial footage interesting but forgettable. I think it's important to hear these shared experiences, hence why Arthus-Bertrand decided against directly identifying each person.

The human race, the only race. Captured with such love and detail. Yann did amazing with the cinematography, the black background for the people answering questions, the mass scale over head filming of these impoverished places, scanning over them, just as society does.
