There will always be an audience for the mystery of the fairy-tale, the warning that the younger crowd will be unaware of that is being played out for them, the notice of the cautionary advice and fear that comes from being the parent to the child caught spellbound in myriad of colour, magic and spectacle, especially when it is delivered with the effect of outlandish beauty attached to it and the dream-like quality to which foretells of unrepentant merchandising galloping along beside it like a knight vanquishing the dragon or troll in pursuit of their own pile of gold.

It is a story that evokes images that many of us will never see, never experience and one that captures the raw cold hate of many emotions, as well as the beauty of the scenery that is on offer as one of the most famous pieces of engineering takes its passengers through Europe.

Mother!. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * *

Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Brian Gleeson, Domhnall Gleeson, Stephen McHattie, Kristen Wiig.

It really isn’t saying a lot about a film when you start thinking to yourself as you reflect and muse upon what you have seen, that you ponder that at least it wasn’t as bad as Noah. The story of creation told in a very modern way, in an approach that actually makes more sense for those who might have found something far better to attend than religious studies on a Monday morning, or even those to whom the imagination runs a lot deeper than what we are persuaded to do when considering passages from the Bible.
