Press clippings

I feel kinder towards "Eddie in August" because it tried something new. If you can call a silent film new. Silent except for music and sound effects. It gave the whole thing a dream-like feeling (do people talk in your dreams?) and a sensation of being alone except for the rumbling in your stomach.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 4th June 1970
