Sark, small world

2007-04-26 02:33:35

Sark small world is an unaffected observation of the island of Sark (three miles long and one mile wide) it has Europe’s last feudal system and belongs to the Queen of England personally. What makes this film so delightful is that within its own self-imposed constraints, it is just beautifully crafted. Every single shot is well composed, the music track is spare and tactful, the editing is nicely-timed yet unobtrusive, and the approach towards the characters is humane and non-judgmental. There’s an irresistible purity to the overall effect. A portrait of a pleasent landscape, a few mildy eccentric citizens and their wacky constitution and even the Queen of England puts in a cameo appearance.
