Robert Flaherty
1931 - Grande-Bretagne - Noir & Blanc - 22'
Although largely shot by Basil Wright and Arthur Elton, Flaherty's film is heavily inflected by his romantic emphasis on the importance of individual craftsmanship in the mechanical age. Like Drifters, Industrial Britain is concerned with ennobling the worker.
