2007-12-11 23:41:00 by Ed Howard in Only The Cinema
...Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs may not be the most logical choice for a light pre-feature diversion, but it's still a blast to watch. That is, if (and it's an admittedly big "if") one can get past the short's baldly racist caricatures and the consequent dated feeling of the humor. As the title implies, this is a parody of competitor Disney's...

...coal-mining industry. Its clear that although the Matewan Massacre occurred in 1920, and Harlan County U.S.A. documents a Kentucky coal strike that took place in the early 1970s, nothing much had changed for American coal miners. Matewan , like Harlan County U.S.A. , opens in a coal mine. The rigors of mining with shovel, pick axe, and bare...

...coal buckets running overhead. In fact, in a key sequence in Werckmeister Harmonies in which a hospital is ransacked and its patients dragged from their beds, the shot procedes without sound.

The Polish Documentary Movement 1947-60

...Coal Mine , directed by Natalia Brzozowska, one of the tiny handful of women working in Polish cinema at the time. Like The Flood , it has no spoken content, but while Bossak and Kaźmierczak had some genuinely extraordinary images of destruction and devastation to film, Brzozowskas material is much more run-of-the-mill - so she beefs it up...
