Beaudin is a master filmmaker, and he presents the film as a series of short, unified sequences, separate emotional events or comments which are memory units in the building of this portrait of the emotional Cordelia. Often the characters in a sequence communicate entirely through glances or peculiar expressions. Beaudin's camera style is also very inter­ esting. Often the camera does not move, or moves very subtly to follow the central character in frame — usually Cordelia. At other moments, when Cordelia does not move and is alone in frame, (at home or in prison), the camera moves in very slowly to an ever closer close-up. The camera is always discreet, never attracting attention to itself. An obviously moving camera is used in only three sequences. These are the scenes where the people in the community No escape for Cordelia (Louise Portal) are all seated together: in the church, at the trial, and at the hanging.
