Diego Batlle

... Beautiful and carefully presented (a la National Geographic), but also solemn and -- as the artist's oeuvre -- a bit exploitative. [Full review in Spanish]

Wenders' aesthetic in The Salt of Earth is inherent to Salgado's characteristic style, his black-and-white universe that's predominately black as an authentic contrast to the whites. [Full review in Spanish]

Co-directors Win Wenders' and Salgado's son Juliano's documentary chronicling the life of the photographer is so full of jaw-dropping moments that getting up close and personal with a whale merits only a passing mention.

This documentary memoir of legendary Brazilian photographer Juliano Ribeiro Salgado offers extreme visions of beauty and horror in unlikely co-existence, though both are more graphic.

Salgado documents human existence with remarkable sensitivity and profound insight into the mysteries of life, and so too does Wenders.
