This is either liberal Zionism or a critique so veiled its use vanishes
Nails a lot of what makes historical epics so formally pleasing, although not consistently enough to mask a distinct lack of understanding or even conviction in its analysis
Also I had a microsleep during the critical scene between Laszlo and van Buren towards the end - literally just for that scene. Was extremely confused when the big confrontation happens at the end and eventually just assumed it was an artistic choice lol
