This 2008 New Zealand and British comedy starring Sam Neill, Jeremy Northam and Peter O’Toole is a surprisingly delightful and inventive story that takes place in Edwardian England and is based on a novella by Lord Dunsany from 1936. It explores the relationship between fathers and sons, men and their dogs, and the subject of reincarnation. Either that description attracts or repels potential viewers, but Cinema Siren highly recommends this very positive and joyful movie, not least for offering another opportunity to see O’Toole and his immense acting talent. ps. It’s trippy.
