Greetings Ziners!
With many posts talking about Paris or Venice, here is a little-known movie about a very beautiful part of the world - Wales... I really liked The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. This is a romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant who plays an English cartographer who visits the small South Wales village of Ffynnon Garw, to measure what is claimed to be the first mountain inside of Wales. It is set in 1917, slap bang in the middle of WWI. The villagers are very proud of their mountain, and are understandably upset to discover that it is in fact a hill. Not to be outwitted by a rule (and the Englishmen who enforce it), the villagers set out to make their hill into a mountain... Enjoy! Non Sequitur |
