Every so often a movie comes along that leaves you breathless. As if you wandered into a dream and don’t want to leave. I can’t put my finger on what, specifically, entranced me about Nicholas Ashe Bateman’s debut feature
The Wanting Mare. Maybe it’s the starry fantasy landscape, like watercolor smeared over a grey-blue horizon. Or the characters who dance—sometimes literally—through each frame, ethereal and alive. Or maybe it’s the buzzing score, which ties the story together like an elegant lace.
I’m sure, in actuality, it is the combination of all of the above, coupled with Bateman’s fierce imagination.
