Miss Thompson Goes Shopping

David Gladwells ability to capture both the idyllic and eerie aspects of country life are used to great effect in this filmic adaptation of Martin Armstrongs poem about an elderly lady who becomes perturbed by something we cant see. It becomes apparent that she is looking for her past, lost in a memory or the clutches of nostalgia. Miss Thompsons shopping trip to town is in chaotic contrast to the tranquil nature of her lonely home, which on return seems like paradise. This title is also available on the DVD/Blu-ray Requiem for a Village in the BFI Flipside collection.
