One of the best films i have seen

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Basically there's one scene in the film with a man with a screwed up face walks out of a tent with a rope attached to him in slow motion propped up by the only one good song Blank mass ever did.The rest of the film is a load of ex comedy actors rambling on about nothing.And because there's no story or purpose,it suddenly qualifies as deep and arty?Its the normal middle class rubbish that gets praised by the privileged mummy and daddy university bum licking arty crowd,trying to make something gritty with depth.Its cheap filth on a low budget trying to make a quick buck.And just because the director is plump and has a serious face with one of those cliché director beards and has channel 4 hanging out his arse and makes silly gangster and serial killer films with actors who over do it in the facial expressions department.Doesn't make this a gem. This film should be left to burn in a field somewhere but hopefully not in England.I would not want to wipe it off my feet......

This film is one of my best according to my special sense... When I saw it first time, I felt something ... something good... but what is it?? I saw three men. I saw one field. I saw sense of human. Think. Think.Yess. I see just one thing "Plato ...The Republic". "three" men was in "one" field with "one" Republic. Republic with truth, knowledge in the field with the existence human! Time? forget it. Field means time. Field means land. So go ahead. To declare your republic, you need three piece. Do not look only stars in the sky. Note: Sorry for my bad English..

This movie is like Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" transported back to England in the middle 1660s. The acting, costumes, speech and action are all very good, excellent. The whole effect is what one would imagine the English Civil War period would be like. The film is abstract, metaphorical and profound in its character interaction. I felt I "was there", transported back in time. The story-line is meant to be obtuse and may put a lot of people off. It's difficult to understand. However, the overall effect is very good. I recommend this film to anyone who is into knowing something about what men were like in the middle 1600s in England. I also recommend this film to anyone who enjoys something that is not usual.

'A Field in England' is exactly the film it tells you it's going to be: set entirely within said field, it tells the story of a group of soldiers from the English Civil War going mad from a combination of (the 17th century version of) shell-shock, their own religious beliefs, and an unhealthy dose of magic mushrooms. It's brilliantly acted, imaginatively shot and scripted, and yet, having watched it, I find it very hard to say what it's actually about. Stylistically, and atmospherically, it's coherent; yet its artistic success is, apparently intentionally, not supported by logic. I think it does what it sets out to do; but what exactly that is, it's harder to say.
