It's all 'very' good but like Des Esseintes I think you should always keep the bus fare to Paris.

yes, beyond the frozen sea :-) (at any cost, no matter where it takes us - is this a question worth asking?)

but: finding myself today bathed in 'yellow' at another blog where i play with colours, i can't avoid being mesmerized by those incredible yellow gowns on the blue and red background of sea and walls...

thank you.

It is truly a hypnotic sequence,intensified through the editing of the film into this sequence ... the colours ... and the De Chirico-esque spaces on the roof and steps ... the shadows ... and the alarming vertiginous views from the windows inside... At any cost? Well, one has to be prepared to honour the answer ... a kind of Big Question of resounding consequence, as in Tarkovsky's Sacrifice...
