Review of A Field in England (2013) by Alex A — 09 Sep 2013

I'd be lying if I said "A Field in England" is a movie that's either accessible to mainstream audiences, or easy to understand, but it's still a well made film that's an incredibly bizarre and trippey slice of British independent cinema.

The fact that director Ben Wheatley was able to film such and impressive looking movie with only a 300,000 dollar budget and shot the movie in 12 days is an extremely commendable act on it's own. Wheatley's film also uses lots of surreal and psychedelic imagery and it's probably some of the most impressive technical work I've seen done on a movie with such a small budget in recent independent cinema.

This being Ben Whatley's fourth film, he's already demonstrated himself as being quite an impressive force in the British film industry and I eagerly await his arrival into American cinema that is scheduled for next year.
