This evening I watched Magic, Magic on German blu-ray. This is a film I first saw back in April on the big screen in Amsterdam where it played as part of the Imagine line-up and while I enjoyed it there I think it works much better on the home screen.
It's slow, languid, beautifully shot with a stunning sound design and for most of its running time nothing really happens. It's also a wonderfully unsettling psychological thriller.
Some will find all of the things I like about it unlikeable and see it as a shapeless art-house mess, so for that reason I will give it a cautious recommendation.
