This jewel of a short documentary won the first ever prize at the Shadow Festival, Amsterdam. 2004. It maintains throughout a wonderfully intimate texture, never once drifting into any kind of sensationalism or voyeurism so possible considering the subject matter. As we drift in and out of the melancholic memories of the central character, we are treated to reflective cinematic moments that seemingly just accent what cinema is all about: magical use of sound, editing that transports rather than reveals, occasionally just the sensuality of lighting on film (16mm) that recalls the good old days. A must see.
