Not that many people on this side of the pond saw "Catch Me Daddy", the Cannes-approved debut feature by Daniel Wolfe, a deeply uncomfortable, terrifying-yet-beautiful look at honor killings in Yorkshire, England.

The music comes from Matthew Watson (a pseudonym for Matthew Wolfe, the director's brother who also co-wrote the movie), and Daniel Thomas Freeman, formerly a member of South London drone-folk band Rameses III, and along with Robbie Ryan's images, it does much to create the film's haunting mood. Neither appear to have any further bookings for composition yet, but with the Wolfe Brothers developing a Graham Greene-ish spy tale set in China, we hope that Freeman and 'Watson' will be reunited there, if not elsewhere.
