I really enjoyed this film. Similar story to the one in the movie Pilgrimage where the least expected character has to rise to the challenge. Acting was good, the filming in subdued tones gave grit to the film, the story was very good, reflecting the dangers of the era. So many marauders of all sorts back then, walking through the woods, there was always a risk that you would come face to face with enemy tribes and other dangerous people. It also describes very well the fervour for religion that existed in those days and the dangers monks were faced with. If you enjoy historical type films, you will enjoy this.

Quirky

I enjoyed this movie. Expect a quirky movie. For example, Maude, the leading character, wears the same dress for the duration of the movie. At first I thought: why? In the end I thought why not. It's a quirky movie. I did admire the fact that when her world falls apart, she accepts the bad with amazing equanimity. The lesson in all this is that, through it all, life has a way of working out. You're on a well planned journey on this well defined road, but it turns out to be a road to nowhere, so you make a fast turn on an uncertain path, no plan, nowhere to go, yet things always work out in the end. And that's life.
