Have you seen it? What a WEIRD FILM.

I have, although it's the Powell and Pressburger I liked less than I was expecting to. I love the dual layer of afterlife fantasy and scientific explanation (which crosses in the character of Dr. Reeves) and the endless escalator from one world to another, and there are great moments of strangeness like the camera obscura or the goatherd on the beach, but it felt more like their riff on Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) or "The Devil and Dan'l Webster" than their own mythos.

You should see A Canterbury Tale (1944), if I haven't praised it sufficiently.

Have you seen these?
