These pictures have plenty to say, it seems, but no immediate story to tell – or no story whose servants they are willing to become. Of course this way of talking about the images is borrowed from, infected by the narrative of the film, which is all about unwilling servants, and it’s tempting to moralise the pictures in line with the plot: heartless beauty of nature, cruelty of machinery, dignity of the human face, counterpoint and correspondence of the story being told.
