''The Shutter Falls'' is a measured, haunting, captivating vignette of the Hebridean lasses who once followed the herring fleet around the coast of Scotland and the North East of England.
Encapsulated within is a gentle, understated love story, that manages nonetheless, a strange lingering eroticism. The central character and subtle heroine, is played to perfection by the superb, vastly talented and shockingly under-employed actress, Emer Gillespie.
It is a real gem of a piece which I wholly recommend for its pace, beauty and 'other-worldliness' - it is simultaneously serene, hard-edged and wistful!
