简介:过去的几年当中,石油价格翻了三番,为什么会这样?这其中会不会有某种掩盖真相的阴谋?有的人说美元的贬值导致了油价上涨;也有人说投机商囤积居奇,在背后左右着石油价格。现在,另一种声音正在日益壮大:供给关系的变化在驱动着石油价格的飞涨。这些人认为,随着石油的供给量的减少、开采新油田的成本的上升,世界将要面临更加严重的石油紧缺和油价上涨。影片OilApocalypseNow?,将试图从各种传闻当中抽抽丝剥茧,找到真相。  该片历时4年,取景13个国家和地区,选编了30多位在国际石油市场或者政治舞台上有影响力的任务的访谈内容,受访者从各自的观点出发力图为观众揭示未来世界石油供给的前景。  Shotin13countriesoverafour-yearperiod,OilApocalypseNow?revealsthemythsandconspiracytheoriessurroundingthefutureofourworld'soilsupplies.Itincludesinterviewswithover30ofthemostinfluentialpeopleonbothsidesoftheargumenttoexamineiftheoilageiscomingtoanend.
