I think the vérité works in this one - it gives the film the sense of urgency that would be otherwise filled with the frenetic quality usually associated with a movie that has global cataclysm as its subject. The isolation of the estate works well as a contrast.
Shot scenes are fleeting, ephemeral, playing into the film's central theme.
I liked this one - how about you guys..?
