I remember this one, but still remember it as being very difficult to get through. Perhaps that's better than not remembering it at all.Andrew D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875921908336809524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-32988320360242002452013-07-11T05:11:32.989-04:002013-07-11T05:11:32.989-04:00PS.

I certainly wouldn't use the word 'atrocious'. I thought it was well made and fantastic photography.<br />I would have love a commentary track.. or at least an introduction, because I spent a long time not following what was going on.<br />A pause, and a read up helped..<br />Opinions were divided as to WHEN it was set.. anything from 1300's to the 1600's.. OK, that helped to know. It is a well known (in Mali) folk tale about magic and wizardry.. I needed to know that.. So the magic was 'real'. OK, thank you.. that stopped it being just plain weird.<br />Things picked up with that context in place..and I started to enjoy large bits of it as i pieced together what was going on.<br />But by the end I was still 'clock watching' and that is not good.<br />It is, however, still lingering in the mind.. something many other fail to do.<br />(There have been films you have posted, and I've gone "I've not seen that.. it's not in my edition" - only to check and find out, yes I have seen it, and only a year ago too..)<br />No serious committed comment or score until I have let it settle a while..<br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
