Review

Blu takes us on a nocturnal and subterranean journey inside the TBM, the tunnel boring machine used to dig tunnels and subways all over the world. The film turns its gaze on inaccessible and invisible places and reveals the inseparable link between men and machines, between technology and manual labor, between safety and ancestral fears.
