Anyone seen this flick?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=311498401&pf_rd_i=507846

An outlaw caper set in Vermont 1932 during the Great Depression. Adapted by a book of the same name which gets five stars.

From one of the reviews:

"Here we have bootleggers, drunken monks, drunken bootlegging monks, car and boat and train chases, a spectral witch who disappears and reappears in the damndest times and places to offer wisdom, an undead whisky-running pirate straight out of New England folklore with a gang of henchmen - seriously, what's not to like? - ... and as an enthusiast and former resident of Vermont, if I told you how much of this seems plausible, you wouldn't believe me".


Rates 3.5 stars on Amazon. Seems like people either love the movie or hate it, so I was wondering what "our" people feel about it.

We had it here last month for a special show, complete with an in-person intro and Q&A session by the director. Visually a very interesting film, which played much better on the big screen than it did on the preview DVD!

No cause for gloating Lizzie....

Seriously, Dang! Why can't I ever be one of the cool kids with the "in" crowd? The director? Holy Moly! Have you read the book? What did you think?
