« Because the space within the frame contains little to hold our interest, our
attention is drawn to the source of the sounds emanating from off-screen
locations. By placing so much of the content of the film in the off-screen
sound and by using shots of prolonged durations, Epp suggests the notion
of absence that resides in photographic representation. »
