While at home on the farm, I've sometimes thought that the barnyard sounds-animals, machinery, windy field grass- often take on a rhythmic, musical quality. This effect is well-achieved in this film and the result is a harmonic blend that really sets the scene.
In the country, light bounces off of the field grass and "the magic hour" lasts almost a lot longer. The makers of this film understood and the result really looks like the era and the places.
Slow-moving. Impressionistic. Lyrical.
I could say a lot more. Just check it out yourself!
