Dowland's Now, O, Now in a surreal and soothing video...

Very pleasing little movie (albeit a bit over-extended) of one of John Dowland's most famous Lute Songs.

This is charming! There's a multi-volume series of dvds put out by the British Transport Film Collection, mostly about British Rail through the decades, and this little film would fit in nicely in that vein. Some of the films were very practical - British Rail was enormously proud of its electrification of the railway system, and there are countless films on that subject. But in later decades they became more artistic and impressionistic, just like this short.
