In Passing - a short film, set in 1940's London, by Chris Croucher, starring Lesley Sharp, Russell Tovey & Sean Pertwee, tackles the emotions of grief and saying goodbye. It's a nice little short film which illustrates the impact strong actors can have on a piece. Russell Tovey's acting is, as usual, fantastic, he's got a subtlety in his expressions that's really powerful and genuine.There's a quietness to this film, highlighted by the mournful movements of Lesley Sharp coupled with slow moving shots, for example, there's no urgency during the sirens. This and the initial and final shots highlight the constant repetition of this grief in the war, and accentuates the importance and worth of every soldier that has fought.
