Ghosts are real. At least that that is what we have to accept in Martyrs Lane. As the apparitions we witness are no actually named as ghosts. It is clear from the start that something haunts this family at the centre of the story but never setting in stone that this is a supernatural focused story. Never getting the whole picture with explanations to certain actions, no matter how small, coming a lot later in the film.

Nicolas Cage has become his own genre, his legacy proceeds him and with each film he appears in, you never really know what to expect. Whether it will be an action thriller with blood, guts and pain or if he will turn to the strong silent character actor. His unpredictability is what draws us to the screen to watch him in whatever he is doing next. The film may be called Pig, but this is most definitely a Nicolas Cage opus.

Adaptations can be hit and miss no matter the genre, even if they have a good story at the heart. True stories can be manipulated and changed to have a more cinematic edge. But Zola is a whole other hybrid. This is where adaptations and true stories collide in a brightly coloured neon mess and it’s a thrill ride that doesn’t include a mass load of action sequences. Just like Zola herself says, it is kind of long but full of suspense.

The ghost of Princess Diana Spencer will forever be inspiration for conspiracy documentaries, tribute documentaries, fictional accounts made by filmmakers inside and outside of the UK. But this Norwegian dramedy about a dysfunctional couple’s marriage seen through the eyes of their daughter is at least a refreshing take and in some very small way, a homage to Diana.
