A Field in England at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, on 27 January. Some deserters in the English Civil war are captured by an alchemist and forced to help find a hidden treasure in a field. But there are greater forces in play. Part of Ben Wheatley Season.
England during the Civil War and a small group of deserters flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured by two men: O'Neil and Cutler. O'Neil (Michael Smiley), an alchemist, forces the group to aid him in his search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field. Crossing a vast mushroom circle, which provides their first meal, the group quickly descend into a chaos of arguments, fighting and paranoia, and, as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they slowly become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.
Ben Wheatley will be in attendance at the Triskel Arts Centre on January 28 to present his latest film BULK.
