Michael continues his trawl through this year’s London Film Festival offerings. Here are his reviews of The Book Of Masters and The Magic Tree...
The London Film Festival isn't generally known for its championing of genre films. In fact, the festival circuit in general has started to splinter off into niches and competencies, with whole programmes becoming dedicated not only to national cinemas, but areas of the film world such as animation and children's movies.
However, even though most critical attention is looking elsewhere, there are still examples of such fanciful entertainment at the Lff. Two films of this ilk jumped out of the line-up, both from Eastern Europe, and therefore damned from conception where English-speaking audiences are concerned.
If the general populace can't be bothered with subtitles, then what about their little sprogs?
