Power

About This Movie

So, this one, 'Power' from 2021, is an interesting take on the whole shale-oil narrative. It kind of drifts through the intersections of humanity and nature with this raw, almost poetic tone. The pacing is a bit languid, which suits its essay-like structure, allowing you to really soak in the visuals and the sounds of the industry at work. There's this underlying tension between progress and the natural world that really lingers. The performances aren't traditional; they feel more like candid moments captured in time, which makes it feel very real. The practical effects of nature juxtaposed with industrial visuals create a striking atmosphere. It’s not your usual documentary but rather an immersive experience that invites reflection.
