Plastic Bag
By Ramin Bahrani
Wed Jun 4 2025Werner Herzog gives voice to a plastic bag's existential crisis.
"Ostensibly...an environmental film...But despite the socially conscious message lurking within the film it is resolutely narrative, and, within that category, dramatic and deft too, in its dramatization of the life cycle of a disposable commodity...Plastic Bag is a confident and polished piece of art that successfully navigates these two simultaneous threads: the interior and the exterior, humanity and nature, the particular and the environmental. It accomplishes both these angles with aplomb in a quite moving whole." -Short of the Week
