Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 1999)

I have only seen the film three times, so I am not sure that I have picked up everything that is packed into this splendid, beautifully acted, directed and edited film. Many of the other comments have discussed the actors, etc. The photography and editing are also splendid. The color palette used, heavy on earth tones, appears like many paintings on medieval themes. The editing is extremely tight and at times the camera seems to "dance" among the characters. I suggest that more than one viewing will greatly enhance the appreciate of this film.
