A story as familiar as any, told a thousand times from It Happened One Night to Titanic. Conventional plot aside, not a bad little movie. Very nicely photographed, and I enjoyed the Scottish culture.

Nothing extraordinary, at least fundamentally, about this romance. Just that it is written, performed, and filmed with such lively and adventurous spirit, with a splendidly gothic evocation of its Gaelic locale.

It feels a bit silly at times and isn't quite up to The Archers' best work, but it's still a very enjoyable romance with some great performances. While not always perfectly executed the underlying theme certainly has a lot of depth, even if it was almost certainly meant as a metaphor for the country in WW2.

The beginning has that old-school British obviousness and superficial wit, but once you're stuck in the Scottish highlands you'll never want to leave. The Archers tell the conventional story magnificently well - and they somehow depict the culture they're in with deep respect, even when some of it is played for laughs.

The best realization of "Magic realism" I have yet encountered. As a Romance film, it's fine, however as a respectful celebration of a marginalized culture, or as a philosophical treatise on spirituality and it's relationship to tradition to the land it's incredible. And of course, the camerawork is amazing, with beautiful chiascuro landscape photography, clever usage of various surrealist camera techniques and a surprisingly suspenseful climax. Definitely one of a kind.

Okay for a Brief Encounter-y stiff-upper-romance, didn't realise it was P&P 'till the end credits.
