Measures for a Funeral brilliantly spotlights a young academic’s run towards one woman — acclaimed early 20th-century Canadian violinist Kathleen Parlow — as she simultaneously flees from another, her failed musician mother.

The rough cut-out speaks to the leitmotif of the use of hands in the film. This is also visible in the title treatment which feels like music notations, handwritten notes or even violin strings.
