Beautiful Things (2017, Giorgio Ferrero)

Beautiful things are made from oil, but oil also destroys the environment. Oil creates employment, oil destroys environment. Without oil we would "consums" completely differently, actually our world would be different.
This is a visual-acoustic odyssey into different aspects of oil in our world. The different chapters are called Petrokio / Cargo / Metro / Cenere / Coppia. In each chapter one person narrates in his own language.
Ferrero, who is also active as composer, contributed to the soundtrack of this film. The music is composed in different styles and moods. (I can hear that, but I cannot name them.)
Both the visual and acoustical aspects of this film are spellbinding. Viewers should make sure that they are not in a hurry and allow themselves to be absorbed by this film.
6/10
