This film is unbearably bleak at times, yet so achingly beautiful. There is much plot, but rather impressionistic snippets of a childhood scarred by war, poverty, and death. You can feel the coal and soot, so atmospheric Douglas' direction is. I can't undervalue the strength of his images enough. Also Douglas' minimalism doesn't feel forced, but rather natural which is why this film works so well. Stark but amazing.

Of course, this was a little on the short side. While being interesting, I couldn't help but want the movie to explain the characters more and delve a little deeper. However, Bill Douglas seems talented and I'd like to explore his other films.
