Heat 6 opened with this curious piece, easily the most obtuse film of the heat. I think I must have missed a couple of key lines, because I remained confused at the end, although I gather that the quest was more internal/metaphysical, which conceptually is an interesting direction to take. Featured some stylised editing in places which was sometimes effective. I (and the audience) enjoyed the Alice-In-Wonderland-ey moment with the bridge with the 50kg limit, and it’s perhaps a shame that there weren’t more whimsically absurd touches like this in the film. Great, energetic team intro too, which gave us a fun start to the heat.

The lead here begins a quest (altough what the motive is, is a mystery), comes to a bridge and charges through a park. Seemed to be running to and/or away from repressed memories as the father was a bully/abuser. Not my best plot summary as I really didn't know what was happening in this film. There were some nice transistions from setting to setting and nice use of the prop to keep the cape tied up.
