RE: The Wicker Man (1973): Underrated Films And Hidden Gems *Spoiler-free review*
I love this film (ok it helps that I think Christopher Lee is very nice to look at :-D) I especially like scenes, with the masked people with reminds me of older (1920) expressionistic films. And you are right the soundtrack is also absolute great. I originally only wanted to watch the film, because we planned to use (and rehearse) the Gently Johnny song for a play, but I was instantly hooked. Sadly (or more funny) we watched a version of the film, were the scene with the gently Johnny song was cut out (I think it was censored)
Christopher Lee has that something special indeed (also, that voice!).
I am normally not much into folksy music but the music in this film just fits so well, and this song in particular stands out. And I can imagine why the scene was censored, oh well...
Thank you so much for your interesting and thoughtful feedback, @neumannsalva!
Followed you!!!! I saw you are also interested (and accomplished) in martial arts. I practised Capoeira for many years, but had to change recently to somthing less demanding (you here me cry and curse) because of development of athrosis....grrrrrrrrr I think I have bad genes and working a s a dancer for living did not help either. Now I make Chen Tai Chi, which is absolutely not Capoeira, but also very nice :-D
