Trashed
Candida Brady, GB, USA, 2012o
Une des problématiques majeures de notre époque reste le traitement des déchets à travers le monde. Le documentaire Trashed nous le prouve: il suit Jeremy Irons dans son périple à travers le monde – Islande, Indonésie, Liban, etc. Le célèbre acteur nous montre les conséquences de la surconsommation. Sous nos yeux: des amoncellements de déchets polluant les espaces terrestres et maritimes.
"This is appalling ," our Oscar-winning guide says, sitting on a debris-strewn beach in Lebanon. - Seem bleak? It's supposed to, as director Candida Brady uses a thriller-ish tone to show the state of the planet. And if facts about 150 years of plastics, dioxins and dangerous castoffs don't jolt you, a visit to a hospital for malformed children will. Yet for all the poisonous truths in "Trashed," there are also solid grass-roots solutions that, as presented, feel do-able and politically digestible. Crucial viewing for realists and alarmists both.
Joe NeumaierIf we must talk trash, Mr. Irons - assisted by a scientist or two and Vangelis's doomy score - is an inspired choice of guide.
