Ondine

Neil Jordan

Another trip to the selkie legends of the western British Isles. This time a fisherman pulls a woman from his nets and sets the story in motion.

I found this to be a charming entertainment...not without its flaws...many formula touches like a precocious child, ominous bad guy, incoherent dialogue, happy ending. But the two leads were pretty, the premise was fun...the whole thing raced right along with nary a skip. It was a nice way to spend two hours inside on a steamy hot day.
