I didn’t like this. It felt like I was on a school trip to a museum and pressed a button on a display in order to listen to a recorded actor tell me what life was like “back then”.
Sorry it just wasn’t for me. It had echoes of those daytime history channel programs where you have pieces of archive footage or re-enacted events which have been made to “look old” in the edit by clicking on the, “make it look old” button you get on all the editing software owned by the history channel. They also have a sound effect machine that has either the sound of a plane, the sound of Nazi boots marching, or the sound of Hitler shouting.

I like the use of archive here and the cutting between the stylistic coffin making shots and the archive works very well. The angles are well thought through and the editing of the visuals was snappy and well paced throughout.
I like the links between coffins and surfboards. A good film.
