Usually referred to as a "modern fairy tale," this film allows the viewer an opportunity to consider both self-identity and how one's place in society is determined.

Through its portrayal of the concept of "truth" behind sexuality, gender, and self-identity, allows the viewer a rare opportunity to consider him/herself (bad pun intended)and his/her place in society.

On the short list of classic psychological thrillers, this film propelled the Lecter-esque archetype into popular culture, leaving a permanent mark upon film and literature.

...Duncton Wood would appear to be a children's novel, considering its topic (a society of moles). However... Horwood's novel proves to contain so many of those shining moments of humanity, all within the burrows of Duncton Wood.

My favorite book of all time, Courtenay's "Classic novel of South Africa" is the amazing story of Peekay as he experiences firsthand the tumult of society under Apartheid.
