It's funny, I had the trademark Benoit Debie overhead shot confused in my mind - I'm sure I remembered it crossing from one barn to another, over the snowy yard in between. It's actually much shorter than that - I reckon I was confusing it with the fantastic overhead shot in Tom Shankland's The Children. Overall I was a little let down by this second viewing. Think it dips from the silly piano dance scene onwards, and I grew tired of the endless run n' chase. I've reversed my opinion: Du Weltz's follow-up, Vinyan, is the much better work . . .
