If you bought into the quirky madness of a film such as A Town Called Panic, you will absolutely love this hilariously bonkers little film that barely got a release. Frustrated artist Dave's girlfriend Annie arrives back at their apartment after a weekend away to find that not only has he built a fort/maze out of cardboard boxes in the middle of their living room but that he is also lost inside his unfinished creation (as Doctor Who is prone to saying, it's bigger on the inside), so Annie and a bunch of Dave's mates go in to rescue their friend. You can take it seriously, as it takes inspiration from sources as diverse as Greek myth and Alice In Wonderland, with the big central metaphors about life conveyed in all manner of interesting ways, or you can just revel in the absolutely unpredictable and wonderfully creative madness of it all. Above all, however, it is a film brimming with ideas, it has a whole bunch of characters who are a delight to watch and with whom to go on the journey, and it provides loads of entertainment from start to finish.
