"Voted the best avant-garde film of the past decade in a 2011 Film Comment poll, Peter Hutton’s large-scale, compressed epic follows a massive container ship from its construction in South Korea to its lifetime out on the water to its final dismantling in Bangladesh. Taken as a wordless critique of modern global capitalism, an elegiac reflection on the passing of time, or an exercise in pure sensory immersion, the film is an overwhelming experience, in keeping with its epigraph from Joseph Conrad: A man who is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea…" - Film at Lincoln Center
