White Lady (1987)

Scenes of rural poverty intercut with clinical slides about industrial contamination in wildlife… followed by a dull PSA about kids eating chemicals. The difference is so stark. First we have these languid shots, eerie and unassuming and painfully real and with a growing sense of stress and alienation—things are not what they seem nor what they ought to be. After that, we have tedious moralism and pans over chemical drums with scary science-y names. What a waste.
