Fardels Bear<p>I saw <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GregorysGirl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GregorysGirl</span></a> (1980) for the first time at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CampbeltownPictureHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CampbeltownPictureHouse</span></a> last night. Excellent film, chock full of characters like a Dickens novel, even the extras. In one background shot there's a dad mowing the lawn with his son mowing alongside him with a play mower.</p><p>The film is pure <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BillForsyth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BillForsyth</span></a> brilliance. It made me very happy. I'm going back on Thursday to savour the juicy details.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FilmMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FilmMastodon</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYloz6Zv33U" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=HYloz6Zv33</span><span class="invisible">U</span></a></p>
