The Gin and Elbes by Hilda Swanton - A Review

The film is in the vein of arabian nights and stories like that. It's a self reflective story about a person who all they do is think about story. And she is sort of forced to confront what she really wants from life when she is given the opportunity to get anything that she wants. But as far as fantasy story telling goes, i think the hero archetype is so powerful in these stories,. We're kind of left without that archetype in this movie.
