You'll never look at a Morton's container the same way. What comes through most vividly in this strange documentary is the tedium and monotony of the two jobs...salt mining and fishing...on the peninsula of Araya. Unfortunately, about halfway through, perhaps due to the droning tones of the high school science class level narrator or the way the film maker has his subjects walk zombie like throughout the entire film, this enervation begins to affect the viewer (well, at least this viewer). Give it a B minus, mostly for the awesome, surreal cinematography. And please pass the pepper.
