THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH

A delicious poetic movie, set in ireland, and revolving around the legend of Selkies. (people who can transform themselves into seals... or seals who can turn themselves into humans, however you want to look at it..)

Some prick from the new york times said: "...could be described as visually rhapsodic. Photographed by Haskell Wexler on Ireland's rugged northwestern seacoast, it is a cinematic tone poem in which man and nature, myth and reality flow together in a way that makes them ultimately indivisible"

It's just really excellent. Take my advice.
