Poignant short film...

I rather enjoyed watching that

That was a really moving film, they should show it on the telly.

but why? Did the boy die, collided with the tree? Or was it a car? Whatever, it was sad!

Moving ... and an extraordinary piece of work. Thank you for that

Watch at 6.20 onwards. He tries to stop them at the Cafe but misses them, whilst a Lorry starts up in the background. The Culprit? We never know.
It wouldn't have had the same bitter sweet power otherwise. He blames himself and wants to make amends, in his mind at least.

And with Timothy Spall in it, well if you see him, then you KNOW it is going to be a good film*.

Thanks for posting that Archie.



* - Ever since I saw Pierpoint I have been a fan of his, he has one of those faces that can convey a hundred emotions at once.

 

[CopperBrompton]

Beautifully done.

 

[Andrius.B]

Very well done. I am just wondering why is it a private clip on youtube that you can only see if you have a link to it?

Absolutely fantastic, and very moving, and I'm sure there could be grounds for that to have been made into a great British film/production

Totally agree, Timothy Spall is a legend! I have read the book on pierpoint to and very interesting

And yet, he doesn't appear to actually do anything much. He always looks exactly the same!

True, but a fantastic actor Which is what puts him in the same class as Pete Postlethwaite IMHO

Yes, the point I was making there is that he can convey so many emotions in one look, and yet not actually do anything. He makes it look so effortless, and that is the mark of a truly great actor.
