What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? is a fascinating documentary that immerses you in the raw beauty of London's Lea Valley just before the Olympic transformation. Saint Etienne's collaboration with Paul Kelly shines through in the way they capture the simplicity of a young paperboy's journey. The film has this serene yet melancholic atmosphere, almost like a love letter to a forgotten corner of the city. The pacing meanders, allowing you to soak in the landscape and the subtle sounds of nature juxtaposed with urban life. There’s a poetic quality to the visuals and the soundtrack, which feels like a character in itself. It's an introspective piece that really makes you think about change and preservation.
