Movie Reviews of Irish Myths & Legends
Movie Review: A Casstte Would have Sufficed
Summary: 3 Stars
This one was a disappointment. It does indeed narrate some interesting Irish myths and legends. That's about all it does, however. The narration is the only worthwhile part of the DVD.
This is not to say that it does not contain some beautiful scenery or that some of the music is good. Both statements are true but they are not the stuff of great DVDs. That's a shame. This could have been done so much better.
The format is simple. A narrator tells tales while the screen shows scenes of countryside and occasional castle and with some Irish music playing in the background. The background music comes to the fore during long pauses between stories and during pauses within individual stories. All the while, the scenery continues on.
I would have preferred a book for the scenery and a simple cassette would have sufficed for the stories.
