A film about ideas

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2013)

I should firstly state that I have not read the book so my review does not have that perspective as a point of comparison. This is a film about ideas even though most of the ideas are fake. In the context of a film that does not matter to me as films create their own fictional worlds anyway, we know that from the outset. It did stimulate me to look up things as I watched, such as Da Vinci's The Last Supper and the various religious sects, most of which turn out to be real in one sense but invented in another. The world that the film creates bears little resemblance to the real world but is definitely worth visiting. I need a little padding to get my review to the required length so here it is.
