The Austrian Cultural Forum brings to a close its Wolf Suschitzky Season, in cooperation with the Garden Cinema, with Moments. Poetically observed and atmospherically photographed with the accuracy of a foreigner’s eye, the film represents another facet in Wolfgang Suschitzky’s eclectic body of work.
Directed by British filmmaker Peter Crane (best known for his TV fare and Ian Hendry starrer Assassin) Moments centres on a disillusioned middle-aged man, who has lost all appetite for life, and checks into an Eastbourne out of season hotel to bring an end to it all. There he meets a carefree, optimistic woman who tries to reason him out of suicide. But is she real? Or is their friendship just a metaphor for the fading grandeur of a hotel filled with memories of days gone. A dream, a symbol, or a reflection on inner desolation.
