Rarely is there a film that you cannot view just once. But this is one.
Not really well-known in most of the world, this New Zealand classic is one of the finest time-travel adventures ever to grace the big screen. A remarkable story indeed. Only by seeing it several times do you realise that every little detail is quite significant. This has been one of my Top 10 films of all time for over a decade. See it by all means, but see it more than once … and pay close attention to everything.
Death, Sacrifice, and…Magic?
In a medieval Welsh village, a strange fey boy has a vision; that if the villagers plant a cross on the highest steeple in Christendom, the village will be spared the Plague. So begins a journey that takes the villagers, the boy, and the audience to entirely unexpected places. Even though the film tried to be too ‘relevant’ in places, the mix of humor and sudden plot twists, and the bittersweet ending that comes as a surprise, but shouldn’t, hold up extremely well. In particular the collision between medieval Wales and modern New Zealand lent itself to some truly hilarious moments. (Quote from the movie, from one of the villagers; “The Church is a business; and it runs out of money?”) I really wish I owned this film, or a better copy of the soundtrack.
