Film: Big Fish

"Tales for an Accelerated Culture" is the subtitle of Douglas Coupland's most famous book. Walking out of the cinema after watching Big Fish this evening, I'm left with just one thought: storytelling maintains the vitality of life.

It's a Tim Burton film so expect the fairy-tale to be peppered with darkness. Expect quirky characters and love standing side-by-side with regret. But above all, expect a story where the tangents are as enthralling as the main thread.
