Sinekatalog’s take
An industrial film about an oil-field blaze, shot with a stylist's eye despite its corporate origins. It shows how a commission can become a work of striking imagery, and interests viewers who like cinematic non-fiction.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
