So, this Friday marks the release on Ben Wheatley’s latest slice of gonzo, surrealist horror – A Field in England. His films tend to divide people, but I for one thought Kill List was stunning. This one is an ultra-low-budget, black & white, psychedelic quickie (it was shot in 12 days, apparently) about alchemy, magic and murder in the English Civil War.
Interestingly, it’s being released simultaneously over multiple formats, including cinema, DVD and on-line.
It’s also being shown on Film4 in the UK on Friday night at 10:45pm, which I’m buzzing about (Ms Brown, who hated Kill List and Sightseers, has decided to leave me to it).
Anyone else looking forward to this? It's being shown as a kind of double bill with El Topo, so it should be a strange old evening.
The poster sets the scene nicely:
