Logging

Film: Brief Encounter

It depends how you watch this film...you could view it an exercise for the future filmmaker of Lawrence, Kwai, and Dr. Zhivago or the very must mumblecore movie ever made. I'm glad I watched it, but I doubt I'll just pop in from time to time to re-watch for fun or pleasure. One shot will always stick with me- when she goes back to the flat. A simple pan, but the objects in frame become like a prison for the character. Great. Compare it to the shot when Lawrence takes Akaba. Similar technique. Different story.
