Narrated by future Poet Laureate Cecil Day Lewis, 'Figures in a Landscape' offers a poetic portrait of sculptor Barbara Hepworth and the otherworldly Cornwall landscapes that inspired her work. Priaulx Rainier's haunting score beautifully complements the extraordinary works of art, placed in the Cornish spaces that influenced them. Hepworth had been commissioned to design sculptures for the Festival of Britain two years before this film, and remains one of Britain's most celebrated sculptors - she was made a Dame in 1965. She died during a fire at her St. Ives studio in 1975. (Alex Davidson)

Amazing. Barbara's Great Nephew here, from Cornwall. She passed away before my time but my mum remembers her well. Wish I had the opportunity to meet her! Inspirational.

The qualities of the sculpture, narration, camera work and music are entirely of their time and authentic. A great little film.

Exceptionnel . j'aime la voir travailler la matière avec une volupté évidente à l'ombres des palmiers . J'aime le chat sur le socle & le dialogue des sculptures "percées" avec le clocher . BRAVO

That is not the voice of Cecil Day Lewis narrating, though that is what the BFI's Explore website says. The BFI says words were by Jacquetta Hawkes. I wonder whether the credits have been swopped round by mistake, so that the words were written by Lewis and the narration spoken by Hawkes.

That is not Cecil Day Lewis narrating. It's probably Jacquetta Hawkes.

She didn’t use any machines ? Everything by hand ?

@willgeorge7203 Год назад

Great score. Did Rainier compose that for the film or was it an existing piece?

To me, Barbara's works are like symbols, ciphers from a place of deeper, subtler meaning. The feelings they invoke are ineffable, maybe too delicate to verbalise.
