Quote:
“Norwood (1983) continued the ‘story’ of Stonebridge Park and the technique, in another London suburb. Short films of increasing technical sophistication climaxed in 1989 with The Clouds, a further topographical exploration combining another anxious fictional commentary with imagery derived from a journey across the north of England from Jodrell Bank to Whitby.” Geoff Brown and Bryony Dixon, www.screenonline.org.uk
“Imbued with loss on the edge of despair, Norwood’s cultural pessimism is fitting for these fag-end times.” – Michael O’Pray.
“… wry, funny and surreal. A wonderful film.: – Jo, Comino, City Limits.Read More »
