The Finishing School for Girls

Some places keep time differently from the rest of the world.
Within these halls, it is still an era of floor-length dresses, horseback riding, etiquette lessons and the long forgotten art of the curtsy.
The very fibers of the decaying wood excrete these ideals, and cast them in long shadows across the filth covered floors.

The viewer really gets the feeling that each step may be their last, which it very well may be...right up until the very static closing shot which offers a sense of stability and permanence. Even so, there is the impending feeling that the whole structure might collapse in on itself the moment the vultures take flight from the roof. An excellent study in intended grandeur and the fragility it inevitably succumbs to.

From the opening shot until its close this is a splendid piece of video documentation. The time-lapsed twitching buzzard, the approach across the porch and dissolve into the interior all terrific. The music is so tense that it adds greatly to the on-edge sense that this location is fraught with perils, to which the imagery attests.
