UNSER TÄGLICH BROT

Welcome to the brave new world of industrial food production. Man, animal and plants have no other function than to fulfil their designated role in this system of mass production. Our Daily Bread is a feast of images to remember. It is not always easy to digest, but one we all take part in.

"Stripped of voiceover, interviews or obvious editorial stance, (…) Nikolaus Geyrhalters evocative docu looks at the agricultural industry across Europe through sound and images alone. (…) A tabula rasa in which some audiences will see a horrifying indictment of the industries cruelties, others a realistic depiction of mechanized farming, and a soft-spoken tribute to manual labour. Meanwhile, precisely composed lensing and painstaking sound design create moments of sublime beauty, even when showing the production line slaughter of animals." Leslie Felperlien, Variety
