The villain sneers, and someone in the film- score department is banging a timpani in slow motion, meaning there's probably tragedy around the corner, but things are too earnest and sleepy to be sure.

Full of magic and fantasy with an interesting mix of eccentric and complex characters.

A striking feature debut with a creditable stab at magical realism.

An odd but original, at times even poetic, film about a vanished world.

Beautifully shot and lyrically told, Simon Magus is a beguiling study in contrasts, good and evil, darkness and light, hope and despair, joy and melancholy.
