Reviews
"In" Under Control ", recordings of monumental cooling towers, decorative control centers and the tangle of pipes emphasize the imposing beauty of these buildings and allow an ambivalent view of the dangerous processes that take place behind them. One misses this differentiated perspective, especially in films that often deal in a very instructive way with grievances like the dark side of globalization ("Darwin's Nightmare") or the hidden paths of the food industry ("We Feed the World"). "
