Remnant

"Three blessed shadows walk through petals and cheering into the fog. One, then another, is erased in silence, and the last shadow comes face to face with what has been waiting for it in darkness and guilt." The film builds the feelings of its characters and the shifting of its spaces through sound as carefully as through image. Footsteps and breathing, cheering as it recedes, the stillness that fills the gaps between them: every sound a scene needed was designed in detail and set to move with the story. Sound is treated as a part of the direction, so that the audience does not stop at seeing a scene but feels the space and the emotion inside it. The film is best watched with headphones or earphones. Small sounds are placed deliberately throughout, and in a room with as little noise as possible the sound design, the sense of space and the emotional line of the characters come through far more clearly. Thank you.
