Sadly Over-hyped

One of my all time favorites.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Undoubtedly a peculiar film. Certainly a very Welsh film.It'd be easy to make the mistake of stopping watching it in the first twenty minutes - the editing could have been a lot tighter.I'm pleased to have watched it - I learned of things I didn't even know I didn't know. It's a funny film, but also a sad one. Ultimately, I think, a film about sacredness. The importance of understanding what is important; the tragedy of the loss of the diversity of language and thought... along with losing the sense of the unity of our shared experience... the value of hospitality for strangers because their strangeness only masks their similarity to us.It's best to find out what is precious before it's gone and failing ultimately is no reflection on the value of the path trodden to get there.Part of the reason it was so good was that, despite being about mythology, it was real, despite being full of pretending, it was not pretentious... Taking itself so lightly, having no axes to grind or claims to great insight, made it's serious insights very moving.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2778266/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
