A Field In England (2013) ****

At times confusing, hilarious, glacial, and enthralling, Ben Wheatley’s A Field In England (2013), his fourth feature film, will prove frustrating for many viewers. Very much a mysterious, metaphysical, existential experience, it’s my favorite of his films and I enjoyed it just as much a second time. AFIE is beautifully photographed, scored, acted, and features an all-time kaleidoscopic psychedelia sequence in its final third. 

Recommended for fans of Alejandro Jodorowsky, Ingmar Bergman, and Nicolas Winding Refn.
