A Film: August Evening

I am not an expert on films, but "August Evening" deserves a word because of its brilliant filming.

Somewhat akin to other cinematography that allows pictures to convey meaning, this rather simple if sad story of a illegal Mexican man and his family requires little action or words to convey the emotion involved in their tragic circumstances. Quiet but strong, the film focuses on the sounds of nature, the landscape, the evening skies, the sad faces to bring your own feelings to the forefront.

It was a beautiful film.
