“The six short sequences of Cold Open, part of a larger series, veer from the oblique to the voyeuristic. At points elegiac, romantic even; at others, inscrutable, sinister, the scenes which this portmanteau project presents — and they are scenes — impose a narrative, or at least begin to locate one, while simultaneously refuting any sensible account of events; cancelling the very idea, or value, of a narrative.” (Adam Pugh)
