A Field in England

9/29/2013

 
Picture
This was one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises of the Vancouver International Film Festival so far. 
Writer Amy Jump weaves an intricate, surreal, and often amusing story about a gang of defecting misfits during the English Civil War.

Astronomer Whitehead (Reece Shearsmith) finds himself in a field on the wrong side of the hedge, where black magic, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and a sorcerer govern the action.

Filmed entirely in one location, director Ben Wheatley constructs a clever story that asks you to suspend belief and travel with the characters to places that promise to intrigue and amuse.
