It's great isn't it? Proper charming Brit flick. I loved it. Tim Key for the win.

Watched this last night which was just terrific. An absolute masterpiece. Terrifying docufiction with images straight out of German expressionism. Once seen, never forgotten.

It's really lovely that both The Salt Path and The Ballad of Wallis Island are working in cinemas at the moment!
