The Salt of the Earth

ICA - Institute of Contemporary Arts, London

Veteran filmmaker Wim Wenders excels at creating documentary portraits of fellow artists, as in his Buena Vista Social Club and Pina, the latter of which in particular exemplifies his visual virtuosity and ambition. That virtuosity is on display again in this powerful and at times awe-inspiring homage to the Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado, whose instantly recognisable black-and-white photographs have documented scenes of great suffering as well as great beauty around the globe. In collaboration with Salgado's son, Wenders carefully chronicles all of Salgado's major projects, from his shocking images of war and genocide to those celebrating the grandeur of the natural world. But the film is also much more than a photographic catalogue, probing the personal motivations behind Salgado's lifelong, worldwide vocation. Sunday 19 July 2015
