The Story of "The secret of Kells" takes place in a fascinating but overlooked historical period, the time of Viking invasions through Britain and Ireland: the time of pillages, frightened communities and monks.
And caught between two adults, two monks, two ways of coping with the horde which is destroying society, young Brendan will find friendship, hardships, the power of beauty and culture and a troublesome coming of age. Blessed with gorgeous, colorful, period-inspired art, The Secret of Kells is a classic tale, but a tale told really well, with splendid colors and warmth.
This movie deserves more appreciation and recognition. It is that good.
