Mourning For Anna

Edinburgh International Film Festival: Feature - International

Catherine Martin's first new feature since the gorgeous Dans Les Villes (EIFF 2007) is a beautifully crafted, thoroughly serious study of parental grief. Martin's elegiac long-take style and relentlessly elegant mise-en-scene develop a striking backdrop for the compelling central performance. The interplay between powerful performances given full room to breathe, and masterful technique unfolding under tightly focussed direction, make this a thoroughly mesmerising piece of cinema.
