With an intent yet poetic gaze Austrian documentarian Nikolaus Geyrhalter examines the methods by which vegetables, grains and meats are processed in preparation for human consumption. Despite his decision to include unsettling images of animal slaughter, Geyrhalter favors pictorial composition and sound design over exposé in a work which finds a unique, rhythmic beauty in the automated processing of food products. In a series of tableaux, Our Daily Bread keeps a cool distance from subject matter that will directly impact anyone who chooses to watch.
