Photographing Fairies (1997)
Country: GB
Technical: Technicolor 106m
Director: Nick Willing
Cast: Toby Stephens, Emily Woof, Ben Kingsley, Frances Barber, Philip Davis, Edward Hardwicke
Synopsis:
1912: a photographer loses his bride on his honeymoon in the Alps. After the war he is contacted by a woman who claims to have photographed her children with fairies. At first contemptuous, he becomes intrigued and journeys up to the site where his own attempts to make contact with the beyond become entangled with the tragedies besetting his host, the vicar.
Review:
A splendidly full-blooded venture into a rarely treated subject matter, with Kingsley providing suitably intense support as the clergyman who has no need of proof of the hereafter, let alone a dubiously pagan one.
