Earth (2019, Nikolaus Geyrhalter)

[Mothravka]

Several billion tons of earth are moved annually by humans - with shovels, excavators or dynamite. Nikolaus Geyrhalter observes people in mines, quarries, large construction sites in a constant struggle to appropriate the planet.

A review from MUBI:

Sadly a letdown, it's like a synthesis between Geyrhalter's previous dialogue-less films, and a "talking heads" documentary format. The content of these interviews is also very repetitive, and since they comprise about half of the film, they're often tedious. Some of the images are very impressive, but overall the movie feels overlong and awkwardly structured.

I liked it and it kept my interest going, but it's definitely the weakest film I've seen by Geyrhalter so far.
