Vincent Ward
This 1988 allegory from New Zealand stands as a unique contribution to literate film history. The notion that a seer, a young boy, could have visions in a time of extreme peril which were in some way accurate but jumbled up and difficult to decipher is novelistic and provokes a level of thinking uncommon in cinema.
This was startling when first released and it remains an intelligent, original film that will be cherished by aficioanados as long as cinema lasts.
