Acclaimed Austrian director Michael Glawogger's epic-scale documentaries pull together grand, global themes in unexpected ways.In his newest film, he deconstructs contemporary conceptions of work- by showcasing five of the most grueling and dangerous professions he could find. ???It observes laborers from around the world going to hell and back, day after day, year after year, to eke out subsistence livings, you are struck by their exuberance, vitality, teamwork and satisfaction in discharging backbreaking duties with a minimum of complaint. The simple act of doing the work, no matter how dangerous, gives their lives structure and purpose; triumphing over fear adds to their sense of accomplishment. "Workingman's Death" is a film of few words but plenty of indelible images of people risking their lives with hardly a second thought.???





From a sixteen-inch-high sprawling coal mineshaft in the Ukraine to a gruesome slaughter yard in Nigeria Glawogger delivers spectacular footage of the most laborious labor this planet has to offer. At once a rejoinder to those predicting the death of manual labor and a ground-level lesson on globalization, the film makes the efforts of these impoverished men something heroic. They represent a forgotten kind of courage. In Kawah Ijen, Indonesia, men mine sulphur from the blistering heat of a volcano basin while tourists take pictures. In China, he greets the steelworkers of Angang. In Gaddani, Pakistan, bare-handed migrants work as ship-breakers on a seaside beach, disassembling oil carriers piece by piece. All of this work is captured in Glawogger's characteristic stunning compositions, with an eye for the harsh grandeur of elemental and industrial environments.
