British sleepers Winter, snow, sleepers, England. People - not frowning, but not cheerful - dig up the rails with shovels. One. Again. Here we go. And the locomotive is coming. And the engine. The driver's inside. Looking forward, attentive. Passengers in the back. Speed. More speed. Snow is flying off the tracks. The boys cheerfully wave to the passing train. Home. Sheep. Trees. It's moving. It's racing. Everything is rushing!
32-year-old Jeffrey Jones was very good with the camera, editing and selection of rhythmic rock music, creating under the auspices of the British transport office a damn dynamic and exciting short film. There is practically nothing gaming here. Just documentary filming, somewhere successful shots, such as with a running stallion parallel to a rushing train. But skillful editing, romantically snow-covered England and stunningly matched music made a very bright short film from the mix of the simplest frames. 9 minutes of screen time flashes like a moment. Well, as a well-deserved result, the unknown Jeffrey Jones received first for his work a nomination for BAFTA, and a few years later (film academics are traditionally tightly scratched) and for the Oscar. Well, British transport workers are not stupid advertising their railway properties.
An interesting rhythmic short that raises tone and mood. I recommend it.
