A Field in England

During the English Civil War, cowardly alchemist's assistant Whitehead (Reece Shearmith) is hunting his master's nemesis O'Neil (Michael Smiley) when they are caught up on the fringes of a battle and the mercenaries he is travelling with are killed.

Fleeing the battle he meets up with several deserters and they resolve to travel to a nearby Inn one of them knows of, which is just down the hill and across the field.

However it soon transpires that he is working for O'Neil who has laid a mystical trap for Whitehead in the field.

CW: flashing kaleidoscopic imagery

This is Film4 as fuck. The magic here is earthy, psychedelic and unpredictable, as is the dialogue and the flow of events.

What might be the passage of a few hours is ambiguous in actual length, the dead rise and the coward becomes the mighty. Songs are sung and shots fired but in the end did any of it ever happen?

If you can handle ambiguous psychedelic rambling this may captivate you, if not perhaps best avoid it.

Cautiously recommended 6/10 but if it's not floating your boat twenty minutes in, switch it off.
