"Documentary does not stand still. ... Objectivity is not claimed, and in the work of the MacDougalls and Rouch, is replaced by the close attention to detail and the structure of the observed event. This produces a new form of narrative close to the work of Renoir, Rohmer, Olmi or Loach. It is in ethnographic film that this is seen at its clearest. ... The MacDougalls [are] the best of the observational film-makers." - Colin Young, Edinburgh International Film Festival.
