When CANBURY starts, one feels the atmosphere and vulnerable serenity of the opening shot of 'The Garden Of The Finzi-Continis'. But the grand director of photography Ennio Guarnieri was not at the helm of this English short film, and the panorama is not Italian.
For a brief moment another Italian maestro comes to mind, but no, CANBURY isn't 'Blowup' either.
Writer/Director Alex Barrett is a master of mood, and uses his keen eye for photography to his, and our, advantage within the boundaries of Canbury Gardens, a park in which three different couples tell us much more from what remains unspoken, than from what they do utter. Reflective and non-obtrusive, the portraits of six young adults are to the point, and of a shining integrity. Beautifully shot by three different cinematographers (one for each part of this trilogy), which lends the 12 minutes extra tension, CANBURY gets better and better after each viewing.
Please try and find (at Film Festivals and websites) more work of this young English filmmaker, who's 'Hungerford: Symphony Of A London Bridge' and 'Andrew' are also fantastic. Alex Barrett, a name to remember well !
