- Synopsis
- The world is a big place, when you are small yourself; and grass and streams are milling with wildlife, if you take the time to look closely. This is what the artist Margaret Salmon does in the hybrid film 'Eglantine', which with her own children in front of the camera and inspired by 'Alice in Wonderland' and Jean Renoir is shot on 35mm celluloid in the Scottish forests, where a small family is on an outing. The daughter moves away from the group and discovers nature's rich myriad of life. A quietly poetic and beautiful film, which lives up to Stan Brakhage's ideal about letting us see the nuances in the colour tones of grass and leafs with the eyes of a child.
