看过 金线 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Nishtha Jain的第二部，金色的粉尘在阳光线有多美丽，就有多担心在这样的环境中工作的人们。摄影师问会担心生病吗，工人说那就可以去住医院了有免费的香蕉吃。 比起叙事更像影像和声音交织的诗歌，导演凸显了镜头的在场性让观众意识到影片来自她的视角是她所观察到的工厂。而音乐为了可观性更加opera化，就像同样的机器在百年里更换零件也会发出独特的声音共同演奏一首组曲，和《青春》是完全相反的选择。亚麻产业在印度有着一百多年的历史，但整个产业随着需求的降低正在夕阳化，政府也逐渐在撤销支持，体现在影片里就是一家又一家工厂的倒闭。

最後織人
In the heyday of the jute industry, millions of people in Bengal made their living doing this laborious work, which has hardly changed since the industrial revolution. The 100-year-old machinery has been endlessly repaired. State aid kept this sustainable alternative to plastic going, but its future looks bleak.
In beautifully composed shots, Nishtha Jain (Gulabi Gang [2012], Lakshmi and Me [2007]) shows the last vestiges of the industry. She follows the entire production chain, from cutting and drying the reed along the river to weaving in two of the biggest mills in the area. Along endless rows of antique looms, the air thick with dusty fibers, workers carry out their routine work. Accidents and jammed machines are commonplace; workers’ faces reveal the exhaustion of a lifetime of labour.
Meanwhile, the union is fighting for a minimum wage equivalent to 250 US dollars a month. During their break, the workers speak out. “Nowadays nobody cares about quality, just more production,” says one. Not long afterwards, one of the mills closes its doors after more than a hundred years.
