Taxandria 1/8 [HD]

In memory of Elliott Spiers.

A young prince is taken for tuition at a seaside hotel but there quickly bores and wanders off to visit a nearby lighthouse. Befriended by the keeper, he learns of a secret world he can see inside the light of the lamp - the world of Taxandria ruled by the dictatorship of the 'eternal present' where all machines, progress and time have been banned. However, a naive but creative printing clerk unwittingly causes a revolution when he upsets a printing press and tries to replace the spilled letters only to have his new words taken for a subversive code. On the run he falls in love with a palace princess, discovers the forbidden art of photography and sets out to fulfill his dream of building a flying machine.

Exactly the same here, just watched paperhouse and looked him up for more work and was so saddened to hear of his tragic death.

In memory of Elliott Spiers... T_T

I just watched Paperhouse today, and I loved his character Marc so much that I wanted to see what other movies he's been in. So I looked him up online and was horrified to find out that he's dead. It's just so sad. And the circumstances of his death just make it all the worse... v_v

His acting in Paperhouse was so perfect; it really struck a chord with me.

RIP Elliott.
