Eva's Diamond (2013)
Wow - what a powerful film
The film made an unforgettable impact. The intensity of it was astounding - it was totally gripping. Keeping that intensity throughout was a great achievement. Quite a few in the audience commented that it was complex, and it certainly was in many ways. I hardly took my eyes off the screen but even so it would be useful to pause and rewind some bits to pick out all the detail and the symbolism.
I loved the start of the film - it really pulled you in. And now I see that all the elements (and the emotions) were there in those first few scenes - the uncertainty, fear, sinister feel, the brutality, desperation and then the love, hope, light, mysticism and spirituality and a momentary feeling of absolute peace. From this the story then unravelled with all this mix of emotions. I felt quite emotionally drained by the end of the evening!! Well done, Ice Neal!
