i think i be one of the people who find this another one of roth pearl . his performance and a awarded and be stun . the story which be tell so eloquently by francis ford coppola 25 year earlier and really unfolds gradually and leave room for the character to develop . roeg prove again it doesn not have to be a war set to be interressting . in a most wonderful location lie a story of contrast . ruthlessnes and beauty go hand in hand and while loneliness should become your best friend . it show a more sinister past of a small golden age kingdom which land on a coast full of wealth for a 1st world country and if u send the right men . all in all a beautiful direct film from nicola roeg wih a sublime cast .
