This is fey.
The question was about how to harmonize various story styles within the one film, and how - without wanting to produce boring conformity - some story moods fit badly with others, and, furthermore, to try to shoe-horn a fantasy type story into a realist style film does violence both to the story itself and to the film as a whole. So, is there a middle ground? Can elements be combined or modified? Or should the two stories agree to go their separate ways.
In which context, the word 'fey' as a perjorative, meaning 'magical but weak and not rigorous' was canvassed. faerie, yes; fey, no.
Also for reference, we discussed 'Pan's Labyrinth' and the considerably less fey 'Spirit of the Beehive' upon which much of 'Pan' was based. Look it up in the videotheque.
