“Robinson’s musical imagination also encompasses echoes of minimalism, with a rapid tenor piano riff underpinning wailing saxophones and more abstract, atonal effects, for the appearance of an angel. The film’s ending, with the statues ambivalence towards immortality, was matched by a wide open suspended chord, over which a glockenspiel line slowly faded from the ear, as a dream fades upon waking.”

Stephen Poole ‘The Independent’
