I hoped for greatness..admittedly a long shot with the subject matter.It hurt. It was a painful, depressing slog and not in a good way.
I had the same gripes as reviewers about the self insisting presentation of the crusaders. They just went further than necessary and thereby diminished their effectiveness.
I'm glad I didn't have to live through the Dark Ages.
If it worked it worked for me as an experimental film.
Many times I felt it'd have been better if more of the characters were mutes like One Eye.
I think I admired the commitment of the protagonist, One Eye to his survival. His apparent gratification in dispatching those who'd abused him was refreshing somehow...
satisfying Photography and Sound Track . I'll probably see it again.
