Review of Aderyn Papur... and Pigs Might Fly

Exquisite, and pigs might fly is a worthy entry into the welsh language film canon, just a shame it is no longer more widely available. The exploration of childhood themes, the evocation of the welsh countryside and the themes of loss, potential and more innocent times is quite wonderful. Despite some unusual plot turns and twists the central ideas hold firm throughout and the actors are the fulcrum on which this delightful tale rests. The subtle understated performance of Llewelyn jones takes the breath away. The tragedy of his unfulfilled career ranks alongside that of other child actors turned troubled adults such as Macaulay culkin and drew Barrymore, but at least we will always have this sepia tinted memory.
