Reccer's Comments: This is two and a half minutes of pure, unadulterated, accept-no-substitutes REICHENBACH FEELS, and it just captures everything I treasure about that storyline. I have never seen the Russian series, but this makes me want to see it very much. I love so many of the actors' expressions and choices here -- the moment where Watson plays a note on Holmes' violin; the idea that Holmes, rather than Watson, is physically overcome at their reunion; the incredible, shy glee that Watson exudes in the final shot. It looks like a truly marvelous adaptation, and this vid brings it all together with economy and grace.
Also, the Handel piece the vidder has chosen for this vid has a slow, grandiose, relentless quality that is just how I imagine Soviet Russia channeling 19th century Britain *should* sound :)
Hope you enjoy!
