The Road

Last night we went to see The Road - the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel.

My God was it bleak. Probably the bleakest 111 minutes I've spent in a cinema. Very harrowing stuff.

None the less it was a hugely enjoyable film. I'm just not sure I could sit through it again (though I'm strangely drawn to reading the novel now).

I came out feeling I needed to see an episode of [the terrifically upbeat and enjoyable] Glee before heading to bed, just to put me back on an even keel. I didn't and consequently had a nightmare where a woman stood behind three open coffins in a church battled to stuff the suddenly lively cadavers back in during a service...
