From acclaimed filmmaker Zhao Liang comes the mesmerizing Behemoth. Poetic and understated, this stunningly photographed documentary begins with a mining explosion in Mongolia and ends with the hollow promise of a ghost city west of Beijing. In one haunting sequence after another, it reveals the human and environmental costs of coal mining and consumption in China.
