Esmeralda and The Cloud

~ The Wanderings and wonderings of a sentient cloud and its soul mate

Esmeralda and The Cloud

Category Archives: Films – Fantastical and Unusual Celluloid.

This is not simply a list of favourite or good films, nor does it tell of purely weird ones either. It comprises of those which have something of the fantastical about them, and/or are off-key and unusual. They will not appeal to everyone, may disturb others greatly, and shall touch some of the viewers souls along the way, leaving a unique fingerprint as they go. Every single one of them is worth a viewing. I shall be adding to the list as time passes, as more of them fly to me on the wind, and also complimenting each film title with it’s own video clip that I feel gives a ‘flavour’ of the experience to come.
Suggestions will be received with interest.
