this was so disappointing such reluctantly shot and directed
expecting way more punch and only hit it from two actors and THAT even fell flat because the camera did NOTHING to help them
I have slept on it, dreamt about it, and ohhhh my goodness this movie ROCKS.
I’m a sucker for this style, the hue, the fantastic atmosphere, amazing costuming, and the “story within a story that has elements of the real world reimagined” shtick. This feels like a passionate project from top to bottom and reminds me of works like The Never Ending Story or The Princess Bride but only in structure.
There’s fantasy, mystery, epic scale, and such an intimate story…
