    Surprisingly moving and excellent 'epitaph'. More amusing than humorous - the arch literary tone of the narrator grated sometimes but it all kept the right side of cynical. The stills really did provide a solid foundation to carry the wordiness of the soundtrack. Bresson himself said you have to chose whether sound or image should dominate at any one time - I think he said that anyway. It'll be a challenge if you try moving pictures with your next project but if you retain the knack of keeping such a neat and consistent 'tone' it should be good. Chris Cook for Twin Track I.M.C.

    Making a film without getting involved in the pain of moving image cinematography must have been brilliant!

    Well done!
