While regular readers must surely despair of my film sensibilities (or lack thereof) and most sensible people surely have a dislike for the film of the recently ended series of books – I actually quite liked the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” film. Admittedly, I’ve not read the books yet (though I may have to do so in the future) so there was nothing to compare it to, but I did love the artistic style, and the fact that it featured a genius inventor girl. Mr Matt Moores, though he despaired a little of the film, actually rather liked the end credits animation, which you can see on the iFilms site. Personally, I find it just reeks of gothic oldness, possibly not quite Steampunk but with heavy Victorian overtones – so I’m quite happy to disconnect brain and bathe in the visuals.
