Beeindruckender Erstling

Written on 08. November 2002 by rutger.

Glasgow, die Müllabfuhr streikt und ein Kind ertrinkt in einem Kanal. Die Tristesse des Kindseins wird hervorragend in Szene gesetzt und zahlreiche Einstellungen brennen sich in das Gedächtnis des Zuschauers. Vergleichbar mit "The Reflecting Skin". Auf der DVD sind auch drei Kurzfilme der Regisseure, die an Atmosphäre das gesamte Filmschaffen des deutschen Sprachraums der letzten 20 Jahre in den Schatten stellen.
