This is a beautifully shot feature length ‘factory film’. It is a quiet, controlled observation of mechanised food production at an industrial scale. The fruit and vegetables loose a bit of their romance when you see them grown in artificial environments and at a vast scale. The fish and meat production is hard to watch. Aside from the livestock, it’s notable how unpleasant it is for the humans working on the production line.

These men are mining rock salt in huge caverns deep underground.
Hatching area. The shot reminds me of a Stanley Kubric’s shot: space age scene with one point perspective.
