what can one say about a film that have one of the black and most nihilistic and and occasionally most weirdly i wont say ympathetic . i will say charismatic villain in the history of the cinema and and the best sword fight since flynn and fairbanks be in their heyday . this be an epic about a stubborn and sometimes foolish and incredibly courageous and honest man fight for his honor and freedom against tyranny . i love it . john hurt and tim roth be great villain . jessica lange be very move and tender and and sensual .
