--Outside "A book of magnificent work. Absolutely wonderful documentary. Absolutely wonderful documentary. Manufactured Landscapes, a career-spanning collection of his work, shows just how deep the rift is between the natural and the artificial." I teach several media studies courses at the post-secondary level and am currently developing one on the post-9/11 renaissance of the independent film documentary -- everything from the Michael Moore phenomenon, through the anti-Bush and anti-war films, to the works inspired by the inconvenient truths told by Al Gore. My review has nothing to do with the content of this video - Edward Burtynsky is an amazing artist and it's fascinating to watch him work.Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017

Well filmed with minimal narration to let the images speak for themselves. Select your address First saw this on Sky Arts a few years ago. Photographer Edward Burtynsky travels the world observing changes in landscapes due to industrial work and manufacturing. You’ve just gotta see it. A beautifully made Canadian documentary that became a classic. It’s just a knockout. He has done a lot of work in China where he has documented that country's industrial emergence, including the construction of one of the world's largest engineering projects, the Three Gorges Dam.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2014 Each image and each location, devastating, yet beautiful is a testament to the photograpers work and a condemnation of the wilful destruction we humans employ in the name of commerce. "Manufactured Landscapes" is a magnificent and frightening movie, directed by Jennifer Baichwal (2006), documenting the work of photographer and artist Edward Burtynsky.
Baichwal, the producer and director, showcases Burtynsky's work very effectively in a movie format, filmed and edited in a way that does not detract from the quality and impact of his photographs Footage from The Entity (1980) is edited into an abstract nightmare. Each image and each location, devastating, yet beautiful is a testament to the photograpers work and a condemnation of the wilful destruction we humans employ in the name of commerce. Each image and each location, devastating, yet beautiful is a testament to the photograpers work and a condemnation of the wilful destruction we humans employ in the name of commerce. I note that *Manufactured Landscapes* is not yet available in its US edition on Amazon.com, but I would urge all Americans to preorder it.
You’ve just gotta see it. Even the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore, enthusiastically endorsed it.One of the most important documentaries of our time. If it doesn’t win some kind of film award, I’m gonna make a big nasty point of that in my upcoming course …
I highly encourage anyone with an interest in man made landscapes to view this documentary.
