The Worst Film Ever

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I found the documentary a bit boring. The story about this family and his kids etc didnt make sense to me and i didnt like the scenario or wenders close up of the photographer all the time.
I found this a very narcissistic film and not a great story.

Indeed it is a good informative film about the Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado. For sure the first few frames of the film which he took images of the Serra Pelada was amazing. I hope one day I see the film of this place in Youtube or other media. I recommend this movie to those people who enjoy photography. For sure this documentary film talk about despair, love, loss, and redemption.I reckon this movie should be shown in colleges and schools about our world history and greed. Although it gives this hope that one day soon (not in my life time) something drastically happens for better life of people all around the globe.

A magnificent piece of work. A long trip through the work of Sebastião Salgado. Essentially it covers his trip from Brazil all round the world and back again to Brazil. It gives a glimpse of some of the photographs from his books, some biography from his son and the vistas where we took these photos. There's some of the story about "Migrations" including ex- Yugoslavia. There's some footage about "Workers". Then there's the Rwanda massacre. This leads him to say that humanity is terrible. Something I don't agree with, in spite of humanities's worse atrocities. But then he comes back with "Genesis" an uplifting story about nature and humanity. In a sense he seems to get over the atrocities and see positive aspects to the human race. This ends with the re-forestation of his home farm. all in all a fascinating trip ending with an optimistic ending.

Never mind the documentary side of things, this is very much a photography watching paradise. Yes, as you can imagine, there is a bit of storytelling about the photographer himself, but the salt of the earth is not pretending to be a tabloid in video format. Who cares anyway? I don't. All I want to see is more and more work by this great man. Sincerely, during the first 1H30 of the movie, until he returns to Brazil, I did not go 1 minute of the film without being awed by the marvelous visuals I was witnessing. It is surely one of the most enjoyable documentaries I have ever seen. I feel like I have seen the planet with completely different eyes. Absolutely, compulsory viewing for photographers, planet lovers, and anyone with a mild interest for things.
