This captivating documentary takes a common musing—What would you see if you dug a hole straight through the planet?—and pursues it to the ends of the earth, traveling to four pairs of global opposites: Argentina and China; Russia and Chile; Hawaii and Botswana; Spain and New Zealand. As the soundtrack spills from one location to the next, the marvelously mobile camera performs barrel rolls and backflips that turn the world upside down. Digital images are deftly spliced to bring opposing sides of the earth together, skylines mirrored across a common horizon: In Kossakovsky’s dizzy global vision, opposites attract. Juliet Clark
