The Rite of Spring

I love Michael's output, but this was a real letdown and I thought it could have been truly good with a bit less talking and a bit more fun and action.

It goes like this. Charming village, people turn up, a LOT of talking happens, it builds up SLOWLY to a climax and, well, it has a bit of action and fun towards the end but it is too little too late.

It needed better pacing - with a lighter touch, tighter edit and less infernal talking, conversations, exchanges of opinion, pontificating, debating etc. It could have been more like The Wicker Man and less like The Boring Man.

The final scene made me snort in amusement. But took too long to get there, nice to see some period cars though, particularly the Vauxhall.
