Coal Face (1935)
Directed by Alberto
Cavalcanti this documentary his narration from poet W.H. Auden. We
see the conditions and lives of men working in coal mines in England.
Starting out as your
typical government information documentary of the period this film
takes a somewhat interesting turn as it shines a light on the dangers
of the industry. I was expecting something much more one dimensional
than how the final documentary turns out. Well made but not
especially remarkable this is a decent piece.
3/5
