4/10
Short documentary on water
31 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
"Water Wrackets" is a British 11.5-minute documentary on water. It is in color and has sound, but that's almost a given for a film from approximately 40 years ago. The writer and director is Peter Greenaway and he was in his early 30s when he made this film, one of his shorter works. I must say it is a chilling watch visually as you can relax nicely and watch the water flowing slowly. Unfortunately, narrator Colin Cantlie, a frequent collaborator with Greenaway, sounds a bit rushed in the way he tells information to the audience, which works against the slow factor of this film, even if it makes it a bit more informative. All in all, this was not a film I would watch again and I have to give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended, but then again I am not the greatest Greenaway fan in general.
