    Manure

    2009-01-21T15:32:00Z

    Dir:Michael Polish. US. 2008. 105 mins.The visual richness of director Michael Polish’s Manure is so striking that many moviegoers may simply forgive the film’s lack of an equally sumptuous story. After dipping their toes into the Hollywood studio-system with their last effort, The Astronaut Farmer (2007), Michael Polish and his ...
