The best interpretation of the Wicker Man I've ever read That's, um, the plot, isn't it? I mean, it's a good plot & a good discussion of it - I particularly like the angle about compulsory bawdiness - but Lord Summerisle's self-serving and spectacular repackaging of paganism is right there in the film. You'd have to be watching a different film to come away with unquestioning adulation of the supposedly pagan themes, shirley.
