A lesson in modesty. Or is it perhaps vanity? Or a demonstration of how you can make an intriguing film with minimal means? Maybe a bit of each. A static, uncut shot of a girl with a book. Apparently spied on, but it is the film maker herself, so she must be aware of the filming. Reduced to silence, but why and by whom? There is some music, but apart from that it’s bare. Yes, that’s all you need to intrigue. (GjZ)
