New Showbiz Analysis

Luc Moullet’s documentary is an experimental work that emphasizes environmental and industrial themes over character-driven narratives. Its main strength lies in its critical, deadpan examination of capitalist industrial cycles and land use. However, the film lacks the multi-layered representation needed for a higher score. Focusing on French landscapes and industrial sites leads to a lack of racial, gender, and LGBTQ+ diversity. Overall, the film explores post-industrial landscapes rather than human identity.
