Sadly Over-hyped
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Undoubtedly a peculiar film. Certainly a very Welsh film.It'd be easy to make the mistake of stopping watching it in the first twenty minutes - the editing could have been a lot tighter.I'm pleased to have watched it - I learned of things I didn't even know I didn't know. It's a funny film, but also a sad one. Ultimately, I think, a film about sacredness. The importance of understanding what is important; the tragedy of the loss of the diversity of language and thought... along with losing the sense of the unity of our shared experience... the value of hospitality for strangers because their strangeness only masks their similarity to us.It's best to find out what is precious before it's gone and failing ultimately is no reflection on the value of the path trodden to get there.Part of the reason it was so good was that, despite being about mythology, it was real, despite being full of pretending, it was not pretentious... Taking itself so lightly, having no axes to grind or claims to great insight, made it's serious insights very moving.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2778266/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
