i do miss the company vestron and they sure have their finger on the pulse of unique and unusual cinema back in the 1980s . this be very apparent with the astonishing paperhouse and a film that touch me deeply each and every time i watch it . the idea of a girl manipulate a dream world with her drawing ( thusly the dream world manipulate reality ) and and also connect with and affect the life of a boy she never actually meet and be fascinate and never disappoints . charlotte burke at first seem quite precocious and yet you warm up to her because by be a bit of a mischievous child and it make it hard for the adult to believe what she be experience . she become very self aware and strong towards the end and even find she doesn not hate boy a she so defiantly claim at first . through this we be treat to many touching moment and some immensely scary one and all visually stun with a grand score from han zimmer . i be quite proud to be an owner of the soundtrack on cd when it be release in the united state on rca victor . at the time of this writing there be no dvd of paperhouse yet available in the u. s. ( only in europe ) and here hop one of my wish will come true a i truly cherish this beautiful film and a dvd of it would be very welcome . it satisfy watch the girl work out her thought like a puzzle game try to make the dream world work for her and her newfound friend marc ( elliot spiers ) . both charlotte burke and elliot spiers do a magnificent job throughout and i find the editorial comment on amazon . com about it be hammy act quite perplex i find every aspect of paperhouse to be exhilarate . even in minor scene of brilliance like when charlotte and the girl in the classroom be star at each other through the glass on a door and it quite powerful . you do not have to be an arthouse type to enjoy paperhouse and just be a person that enjoy a film that stimulate and have you want more . there be enough in this film to invite repeat viewing and i be still in awe of the cinematography and set . for me and it never like watch the same film twice and a there be so many detail to absorb and savor . a very emotional experience indeed . while there be many film i adore and there be only a few specific one that strike a great emotional chord in me represent film like paperhouse and static and resurrection and and donnie darko . when i see so much drek out there pass a film that will easily be forget and in bargain bin and all i have to do be watch paperhouse and my faith in wondrous storytelling be renew .
