The art of metallurgy, music and cinema: all three are united in this sumptuous experimental film. Breaking free of any need to inform, the observation of production procedures is recomposed like in a piece of concrete music based on visual and audio objects. The mute weight of matter and the virtuoso agility of workers are connected as if by a magic ribbon. Film becomes the art of synaesthesia and organic poetry: the style evokes films by Vertov, Ivens, Resnais, Mitry. A true film on work which, with much subtlety, puts manual and artistic work on the same plane, without a trace of ideology. (F. R.)
