Shooting People review Ivor Montagu’s ‘Blue Bottles’ + David Kirkland’s “The Love Expert’ screenings shown at the National Film Theatre, London 2008 as part of Birds Eye View Film Festival

“Jane Gardner's opening piece begins with seven illuminated pairs of white-gloved hands on a blacked-out stage, tracing the outline of an unseen double bass.

Much of the 90-minute show maintains this standard, with a constant flow of dramatic invention.”
