Film Puffball (2007)

Don't Look Now director Nicolas Roeg's latest cinematic offering is based on Fay Weldon's novel, adapted into a screenplay by her son, Dan. Kelly Reilly plays a young, pregnant architect who, while renovating a cottage in Ireland, finds herself unpopular with the local community. The eerie, supernatural film is a complex and compelling piece of moviemaking, and Reilly is impressive in the central role, with strong support from Miranda Richardson as neighbour Mabs, who's desperate for a son, and Rita Tushingham as her witchcraft-dabbling mother.
