Synopsis: The Cunning Man is a dark, enchanted tale of compassion in the face of callous greed. The story was inspired by the story of a real Cunning Man, John Harries (c.1785 – 1839) – a trained physician, who claimed to be able to heal the sick with ancient folklore magic. This film touches on profound philosophical themes, including the transience of life and the certainty of death.
