I recently checked this out on the recommendations of the other two reviewers here. I'd agree to a greater of lesser extent with both of them; it's a remarkable film, quite unlike anything else but with definitely hints of other influences, such as Stanley Spencer's Cookham paintings. It's quirky, whimsical, bucolic and unutterably English (and even specifically east Anglian).
However, these descriptions of the film left me entirely unprepared for a sequence towards the end involving a series of rapes. It's a fairly long chunk of the film, about five or six minutes, and it's deeply disturbing to watch. Just to be absolutely clear on this, I don't think that this makes it a bad film, or that the scenes shouldn't have been included; but I do think people have a right to know that there's more rape in this than in some films actually about rape.
