England’s Lake District, 1348. Fearing the Black Plague may be imminent, a young psychic named Griffin believes he can rescue his fellow villagers from impending doom. After he leads them into an abandoned mine, they begin digging toward the center of the earth, only to emerge upon a bustling New Zealand city street in 1988. This time-traveling cult classic from maverick fantasy director Vincent Ward (WHAT DREAMS MAY COME), which competed at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival, is an underappreciated gem from Down Under that is strange, stunning and utterly original. DIR/SCR Vincent Ward; SCR Geoff Chapple, Kely Lyons; PROD John Maynard. Australia/New Zealand, 1988, b&w/color, 92 min. RATED PG
