I was going to buy Tam Lin, procrastinated and the price went back up so I missed out on it bugger. Have you seen it before? I haven't but it sounds good.

Yeah, got it on dvd from Olive Films.

The whole package appealed as much as the film itself as well as the lower price.

The BFI films about the border counties and communes and the interviews with Ian McShane, Maddie Smith and Stephanie Beacham as well as the half hour feature on the 70's band Pentangle, not to mention the booklet made it a worthwhile upgrade.

The film is very much a curio rather than a classic but it's one that it's hedonistic vibe sticks with you.

It was the feature about Pentangle that was selling it to me actually. I really love that late 60s and early 70s British Folk Rock boom that happened and Pentangle were one of the best.

I'm keeping it on my list, next time I see it reduced I'm buying it right away

I watched it this afternoon and really enjoyed it actually. I admit that it's a slow burn, but the whole scene at the start where he first meets the witch was so well done that it pulled me in, then the three nights of the vigil growing in intensity until the final night when it goes completely unhinged. Yeah really liked it
