Witchy woman

Warning: Spoilers
The tribulations of an uptight academic as he chaperons a wild artist on a poetry tour of stuffy American universities.

This is beautifully made, especially the rhythm of the scenes in the first half. And it looks good, although there was something off about the Connecticut countryside - thought it might be Canada, never guessed it was Wales.

The leads play well together, but the humour didn't hit the mark for me. I liked the actress who told the ghost story. What elevated this was when Caitlin came stalking through the woods like a witch and wrapped herself around Dylan - powerful performance. It came possibly too late, but it did spark the magic. Pity they didn't fit in another couple of scenes with that character, instead of waving the letter around like a threat.

And I suppose they could have given a visual on Dylan's lyrics - although that might have turned out too wacky. The relay recitation of the poem was great.

Music perfect.
