Way of the Morris

About This Movie

Way of the Morris dives into the quirky yet profound world of Morris dancing, capturing its bewildering charm and cultural roots. The pacing feels a bit meandering at times, but that only adds to its immersive atmosphere. It's like taking a stroll through an eccentric slice of English life, with all its oddities. You get a sense of community and tradition, as well as the sharp contrast to modern perceptions — often dismissive. The film showcases lively performances, with dancers clad in colorful costumes and bells, giving you a taste of the spirit behind the movement. It’s a love letter to something so niche yet oddly resonant with themes of heritage and identity. Definitely worth a watch for those intrigued by cultural documentaries.
