One of the most magnificent films I've seen

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2001)

From cinematography (every scene a painting) to directing to acting, this is one of those films that shows just how powerful storytelling can be. Don't be alone when you watch it - you need someone to gasp with and cry with and rave with. For anyone who thinks history is boring - have them watch this movie and they'll understand the depth of man's pettiness and depravity as well ability to rise to imitate the divine. Not to mention, the story will have you on the edge of your seat. Read up on Henry VIII a little bit first though, if you don't know about him.
