Gowanus Canal is a fascinating dive into a neglected waterway that tells a story of environmental decay. Christman's lens captures the grim beauty of the canal, with its murky waters and decaying industrial remnants. The pacing is meditative, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere—the sounds of water mingling with distant city life creates a kind of haunting backdrop. The film's practical effects, if you can call them that, come from the raw reality of what’s been left behind, making each frame a stark commentary on pollution and neglect. It’s not about flashy cinematography or big statements; it’s much more intimate and personal, inviting viewers to reflect on the stories of places and their histories.
