By now, this burly, seething musk ox of a movie, arguably the most convincing film about the Middle Ages ever made, should be on everyone's tongue.

A wide-screen black-and-white feast for the eyes.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Fresh
Episodic in structure, the film proceeds like a folk saga, but its flashbacks, flash-forwards, and abrupt cuts give it a hallucinatory quality.
Ted Shen, Chicago Reader
Fresh
It's stark, daring and often astoundingly dynamic.
