From an environmental quest to Christmas party slashing, Soldier checks out the latest DVD releases…

摘要

A "Docu-Commentary" about an eco-evangelist setting out to live as zero-emission as he can for 12 months, taking his patient family on his self-flagellating journey. No electricity or toilet paper and woollen nappies -an extreme position tornunderline a simple point. The main character is a genuinely nice bloke who allows warts-and-all family tensions to highlight the environmental stance. Don't confuse American sincerity for saccharine schmaltz, I enjoyed this inevitably obsessive film set in the most consuming city on the planet, New York. Eating leek and potato soup for three days - can't help the ozone layer, can it?
