Are there any other fans of this duo's fascinatingly offbeat films? They're not particularly well-known in North America (tho there are a few die-hard fanatics out there), but do any European/British 'catters enjoy their work? I can't decide which of their films is my favourite, but A Matter of Life and Death, The Red Shoes and A Canterbury Tale are all up there. The only major one by them I haven't seen is I Know Where I'm Going (yes, it's also a folk song title!)

While we're on the subject of film, are there any other amateur film buffs who also happen to be rabid folk fans?? Anyone?

I just noticed that there doesn't seem to be a great deal on Mudcat about film, and I thought I'd post this.

Cheers,

Isabel
