Gone to Earth (1950)
Appreciation of unique style.
12 October 1999 - 18 out of 21 users found this review helpful.
A beautifully made and gently rolling film, almost surreal in content.
Some moments almost seem off cue and through a breathtakingly simple narrative visual style, comes a story of innocence, passion and ultimate tragedy. The music is hypnotic and compliments the flow of the film.
Superb performance by all - including 'Foxy'! If this film was made today it would be showered with Oscars.
Finally, it is hard to see a comparable style in the British film industry prior to this and certainly nothing after it. It is this fact that I believe contributes to the films unique qualities.
