Elena ‘enters’ with a lighting effect similar to an opening door, her shadow projection cast long in front of her, as she comes towards him with a face like thunder. You can cut the atmosphere between the two of them with a knife, this is a superb rendering of a brilliant song that captures the precise moment a relationship tips to the point of no return.
The facial deadpan, especially from Elena, is magnificent. And then Stig’s gone, his shadow blacked out and Elena’s left to pick up the pieces. You feel he’s had a lucky escape.
Brilliant, and back in contention for me.
