Ever seen a film narrated by a plastic bag? This is a really quite magnificent short film, directed by Ramin Bahrani and voiced by Werner Herzog. It tells the story of a plastic bag, cursed with immortality, searching for a resting place in the Pacific gyre. You might think that’s a tough concept to maintain for the 18 minutes of this film, but I found it captivating:
The film is one of a series called Futurestates, which takes global issues and imagines the consequences for the world in the future. It’s a fascinating idea, and the quality of the films is second to none.
