Technically interesting, but lacking in storyline - they could have built the tension much better, I think. Maybe it would work better if I cared about religion. Also the recently invented close-ups were taken a bit too far, as it was difficult to tell who was who with all the monk men looking so similar.
Still, some neat images in this one, and definitely an important work in the history of cinema. Recommended as a study of advances in early filmmaking.
