Time and Water Review – Iceland’s endangered glaciers tell their story of climate disaster | Video

Mes Iceland die? Is the world dying? These may seem like the most important questions for the well-intentioned but annoying and vague content from National Geographic, which has been overshadowed by NatGeo’s beauty and visual appeal.

It is directed by filmmaker Sara Dosa, who already given the Fire of Love The story was about the near-destruction experts, Maurice and Katia Krafft, who died in 1991 as a result of the explosion they were studying. Now Dosa has done research on Icelandic meteorologist Andri Snær Magnason, award-winning meteorologistwhose climate change book Time And Water was published in 2019 and has written a “sad account” of ok glacierIceland’s first glaciers disappear. Obviously it won’t be the last one.

And yet what is the tone of the film? Anger? Or elegiac nonsense? Obviously the latter. The glaciers are melting in the north for the same reasons that the global south is warming up to 50C and more, which leads to land stabilization and migration. But the film, in no hurry to tell the Icelandic history and legends and legends of the author’s family, seems to want to show us the sweet but pointless videos of Magnason in his grandfather’s house at a fixed length, together with clear music and his muttering and crying about the end of the Iceland he knew.

The event at the funeral of these elders is concerning, yes. But to be honest, this silly and fun video is not worth it. And at the end the writer is shown addressing the crowds saying, “We know what to do.” Yes, we do: reduce carbon emissions, but time is running out. All in all, this is a frustrating and expensive job.
