Carefully composed landscape imagery as a mirror of the prevailing psychological mood set the tone of this lyrical work. Its roving camera perspectives echoes its elliptical narrative and shows a saga of displacement in the literal and the Freudian sense. What is remarkable is that this dream-like mood is captured with barely any recourse to video trickery, relying solely on the presence of natural light and the play of subtle optical effects.
Shot on video, but definitely belongs to the big screen, cinema silence.
