Dear Aryan,

My only regret was not having time to speak to you about your film. I would love to have a DVD of it to watch it more closely. Lots of amazing fascinating stuff - and parallels to so much of my thinking. You are truly a poet of the cinema. And a dark one at that - always the best!

Talk soon …

best

peter.

    hey, where did she get such such cool stills? : - )
    nice review, i enjoy her appreciation of the cellphone camera as a medium with particular strengths. but is the film in need of some ruthless editing?

    I wouldn’t say “ruthless editing” is needed. i personally thought there was hardly a superflous scene or word spoken.
