John Wilson’s THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE is more than just another episode of his show. It's a film about making films and a work of an artist, a weird, weird artist, reflecting on it all.

Not since MEGALOPOLIS have I encountered a film like DIGGER, which similarly has massive ambitions to tell a sprawling story about The Way We Live Now. In both cases, I don't think the final product works at all, although I do find each movie genuinely fascinating in its failure.
