"Patience (After Sebald) is a multi-layered film essay on landscape, art, history, life and loss - an exploration of the work and influence of WG Sebald, told via a long walk through coastal East Anglia tracking his most famous book The Rings Of Saturn. The source material for the soundtrack was sourced from Franz Schubert's 1827 piece Winterreise and subjected to ... perplexing processes, smudging and rubbing isolated fragments into a dust-caked haze of plangent keys, strangely resolved loops and de-pitched vocals which recede from view as eerily as they appear."

Rings of Saturn is a very odd book, indeed.

Thank you for sharing -- that was wonderful. And absolutely essential for anyone who has read The Rings of Saturn.

The filmmaker, who should probably be noted here, is Grant Gee.

I love the soundtrack album. I picked it up as a fan of Caretaker but never knew it was a soundtrack to anything. I look forward to watching this.
Thanks.

Wonderful film. The smoke image towards the end was chilling.
