I went to see Enys Men this morning. Apparently Enys is the old Cornish word for Island which is interesting as the Welsh word for Island is Ynys.
Anyhow Enys Men was advertised as a horror film set on in 1973 Cornish Island.
I see that the word horror was used somewhat loosely.
It’s an experimental, abstract film where the mundane daily routine of a wildlife volunteer almost morphs into the history, tragedy and nature of an old Cornish mining island. Set in 1973 we follow the naturalist’s daily routine until no one really knows their arses from their elbows, so atmospheric as it was , I lost the will to live by minute 45, so walked out even though I was sure that the leading lady’s red anorak had something to do with the killer dwarf in Dont Look Now ( filmed in 1973)
Subsequently I found out that Mark Kamode gave it 5 stars .
Fuck me that must have been a slow day for him.
One of the Storyhouse volunteers fussed around me with hand twitching when he saw me walk out.
“ Everything all right?” he twittered
“It’s not very good “ I told him
He made the mistake of arguing.
“ As a horror film it’s got a lot excellent reviews” he countered
“if this was a horror film, then my Dick’s a kipper” I told him.
It’s a favourite saying of mine, and did what it was meant to do
It underlined a point.
It was still lunchtime when I left the cinema so I went to the Thai and Thai food stall in Chester Market and ordered their chicken pad Thai , which is glorious.
I like the new dining area in the market as it consists of long tables which have to be shared.

He shook my hand formally as he did when we met at book club and we had a drink together before and after our beepers went off, signalling that our food was ready .
He’s a nice chap, very chatty.
