Up, Down and Back
Beautiful mods reflect internally and punt ‘up, down and back’ on the River Cam.
Overview
The introspective, existential Sixties distilled into just eight minutes; modish young men look brooding and beautiful as they inwardly reflect on their lives, and punt down an autumnal River Cam. Other shots see them standing alone in a strange concrete space and the piece is enigmatic and poetic, evoking the films of Antonio.
