Wondrous Oblivion begins with a visually compelling
conceit: When Jamaican immigrant Dennis (Lindo) and his family move into
a working-class London neighborhood, we watch their every move over
fences and through windows. Then the story steps into Dennis'
backyard...and loses its focus, meandering from a Jewish boy's love of
cricket to his mother's marital stupor and back to the unpleasant
persecution of Dennis' family.
EXTRAS Hardly notable, or audible, for that matter: Writer-director Paul
Morrison's commentary is whisper-quiet. B-
