Errementari (2017)
7/10
Beautiful looking folk tale let down by mediocre dubbing
28 October 2018
Visually intriguing, this film reminded me a lot of Jim Henson's massively enjoyable The Storyteller. The production design of The Devil may well be stylised but that only adds to the fact that this is essentially a traditional folk tale. The only thing that really spoiled this for me is that there wasn't a subtitled version available. I prefer to watch foreign films in their original language. I don't find subtitles distracting but am put off by mouths moving differently to the words being spoken, particularly when the film seems to have a small number of voiceover actors speaking for a large number of characters. That said, the visual aspects of the film do compensate for this minor disappointment.
