Review of A Field in England (2013) by Ola G — 22 Nov 2013
In Ben Wheatley's least accessible outing to date I saw a wonderfully crafted and beautifully shot film, I heard such fantastic sounds and songs, Wheatley's use of sound has always been spot on.
I felt fear, quickly changing into horrified confusion and most importantly I saw a corner turn for great British film making. Yes this film is confusing and will really split the Wheatley fan ranks but this low budget nightmare scape is as captivating as it is incomprehensible.
I have my own theories which I wont delve into here but these thoughts and feelings are what I love about film. The Participation. The figuring out, the debate, the pure interest in the subject. Although not for everyone, Wheatley has again proven his credentials.
A Field in England. Maddeningly obtuse yet beautifully intriguing.
