All That Is Solid (1988): cast, story & where to watch
1988 · Film
Released in 1988, All That Is Solid is a documentary film directed by John Hughes, running about 54 minutes. “The present is characterized by the absence of shared visions of the future. While circulation of commodities and technology appear to command universal claims to meaning and dominance, fragm” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Partly funded as a Bicentennial commission through the University of Queensland Art Museum and the ABC, Hughes’ speculative, essayistic documentary is an examination of the future of Australia in light of the processes of post-industrialisation, Walter Benjamin’s ruinous “angel of history” and Marx’s quixotic vision of modernity.
Who’s in it. All That Is Solid stars Margaret Cameron, Paul Davies and Nicos Lathouris.
