Agatha and The Storm

Aroview: Loosely woven tale of a middle-aged bookshop owner, who becomes embroiled in a surreal swirl of romance and family secrets of infidelity, her energy levels registering in bursts of electrical interference - causing lightbulbs, traffic lights, toasters and computers to spontaneously spark and malfunction.

The dir. of BREAD AND TULIPS extends his reach with a more populated and ambitious scenario, though his grasp of the 'magic realist' genre quavers at times. Still, this features a fine cast, some satisfying twists and an ethereal visual quality.
