A Field in England: All hail the New Psychedelic Puritans

 Following on from Kill List and Sightseers, I'm looking forward to Ben Wheatley's forthcoming film A Field in England; tapping into Witchfinder General and Winstanley territory: all hail the New Psychedelic Puritans!

"When hope presented some far-distant good,

That seemed from heaven descending, like the flood

Of yon pure waters, from their aery height"

Tributary Stream, William Wordsworth (Poems of Wordsworth, Oxford University Press, 1919)

The beautiful game lives on in Ultima Thule

 I'm very much an ex football fan, jaded and disillusioned by the ridiculous grandiloquence of the professional game.

However, in remotest Ultima Thule, it seems there is a true venue for the beautiful game.
