  • ‘Excellent’: 5 votes
    • Reminded me very much of early Herzog films.  Stunningly beautiful landscapes with the naïve explorer completely out of his depth slowly being driven mad.
    • The film is like a trip into a past world invoked with painstaking detail: the pace crucial for this world to materialise.  Yet there in a world beyond – a spiritual one – and the journeys depicted in the film show humanity aching for more but never finding it.  The priest is redundant.
    • What a truly brilliant film – every shot a work of art.
    • A remarkable cinematic feat!  One to absorb and remember! Super!
  • ‘Very Good’: 6 votes
    • Very absorbing, excellent camera-work and good storytelling.
    • Breathtaking scenery and haunting, even if rather languid in its pace!
    • The 2 hours flew by, so I must have enjoyed it.
    • Very dramatic landscape. Incessant rain would drive people mad!  Bit grim but well made and interesting.  The amusing parts were welcome light relief.
  • ‘Good’: 1 vote
    • Liked the evolution of the story & the cinematography but 30 minutes too long.  Over-indulgence by the director.
  • ‘Satisfactory’: 1 vote
    • Too long.  More questions than answers.
  • ‘Poor’: 0 votes

Our Next Presentation: Godland (12A)

Chelmsford Theatre Studio, Fairfield Road – Thursday 29th February @ 8PM

In the late 19th century, a young Danish priest travels to a remote part of Iceland to build a church and photograph its people. But the deeper he goes into the unforgiving landscape, the more he strays from his purpose, his mission and morality.

  • ‘Excellent’: 4 votes
    • Brilliant – The cinematography of Jack Cardiff was literally ‘out of this world’!
      Stood the test of time, despite the stagey performances of some.
    • Beautifully shot in wonderful Technicolor. A real treat from a great film maker.
    • But sound very loud.
  • ‘Very Good’: 4 votes
    • A great film – so good to see it on a big screen, restored. So appropriate for Valentine’s Day!
    • Good that this was shown of Valentine’s Day. Nail biting stuff held one’s attention
      throughout. Good morale booster for the future after WWII
    • An extraordinary achievement for its time; highly imaginative!
    • A novel idea. I was interested to hear the prosecution and defence. David Niven was a good
      choice for the part – lovely eyes
  • ‘Good’: 2 votes
    • A bit too saccharine for my taste.
    • Entertaining but dated in terms of acting style.
  • ‘Satisfactory’: 0 votes
  • ‘Poor’: 0 votes
