The Wicker Man (1973)
Movie
Released
A Scottish island's songs, school lessons and agricultural anxieties make belief feel like a complete social system. Edward Woodward's visiting policeman brings convictions of his own, which keeps the clash more interesting than a simple contest between reason and superstition. The community is a cinematic invention; the musical charm makes its rules unusually hard to dismiss.
