Those of you who have read my blog for a while, are aware of how much I praise this film, as I’ve mentioned it some other times. The Village is quite special: it’s thrilling, intriguing and striking, and at the same, it’s as tender as a soft focus image coming out of a fairy tale. It’s a love story, a simple and true one. At least that’s how I see it, although others can see deepest elements in it, which is not entirely wrong, and that’s how brilliant the story is. One could see it as a sad and pessimistic film about today’s society and how we fear everything that surrounds us to the point of immersing ourselves inside a bubble. Through another point of view, it could also be about family values, about cherrishing and protecting those we love, no matter what it takes, like Ivy Walker does so bravely while entering in a forbidden path she can’t even see, after all, she’s blind. There’s also the beautiful soundtrack, layering love and terror when you least expect.
The Lumière brothers were so wrong...
