Dimitri Kirsanoff’s “Brumes d’automne” showcases an editing style that is in the favor of using montage as a way to give insight into how the character reflects or is feeling. The main character reads and interacts with letters and how she feels about what is being said, even though the audience do not get to see what the letter says, can get an idea of how it effects the main character.
She will read for amount and then reflect whether that brings the audience to a flashback of sorts or direct action in tossing the letter into the fire. paired with the music and the visuals the audience can get a feeling of somberness or depression. I personally when watching was made uneasy by some of the sound choice that were made. This could have been a tool to help the audience get a better idea of how the main character was feeling at the time of reading these letter. For me the use of montage worked sometimes, I did find that some montages worked better than others in this experimental short, were for some I was focused more on trying to understand or making meaning out of what I was seeing.
