Overview

Een biopic over de auteur M. R. James. Als M.R. James zijn spookverhalen puur schreef om zijn vrienden te vermaken, waarom lijken ze dan zoveel weerklank te vinden bij de lezers? Waarom zijn ze zo angstaanjagend? De vijftig minuten durende documentaire van Clive Dunn probeert deze vraag te beantwoorden. In de woorden van de fictieve verteller, mooi gespeeld door Bill Wallis van Dangerfield: 'was er iets dat [Monty James] deed geloven dat kwaad en boosaardigheid tastbaar konden worden?'

A Pleasant Terror: The Life and Ghosts of M.R. James

Taglines

Overview

A biopic on the author M. R. James. If M.R. James wrote his ghost stories purely to entertain his friends, why do they seem to strike such resonances in readers? Why are they so terrifying? Clive Dunn's fifty minute documentary sets out to try to answer this question. In the words of its fictional narrator, nicely played by Dangerfield's Bill Wallis, "was there something that made [Monty James] believe that evil and malice could become palpable?"
