Must admit I haven’t seen the film (I’ve read the original novel but I gather it’s somewhat different from the film) but I found this so poignant. It’s beautifully put together.
What a great choice of song. I particularly enjoyed the montages accompanying the sections when the piano plays on its own. Especially the bit at around the 0:10 mark, when Holmes turns round. I thought that smooth rotation fitted the music perfectly. Also the pause at 0:16 when we look straight into the character’s eyes, and the chord at 0:22 coinciding with Holmes poking the stick into Roger’s chest.
Some other moments that particularly struck me:
0:43 ‘They took away our fire’ - as Holmes gestures with a finger as he tries to recall a memory.
0:56 ‘What minds’ - while we’re looking at a distorted Holmes through the glass.
2:55 ‘What fine design’ - the ceiling shot moving into the shot of the flower.
3:20 - ‘And now we just try to survive’. Holmes and his housekeeper waiting together to see if Roger survives.
And it’s such a positive and peaceful sequence for the vid to play out on.
