MCT:March 4, 2008I absolutly love this film, Paul Bettany is just so genius in it, words cannot describe. The story is amazing, we first see Nicholas running away after having commited a crime and he finds this theatre group and travels with them and they come upon this troubled town who are trying to solve a crime of their own. Brilliant film!

This movie was surprisingly good. It has a thought provoking story and while you think the movie is going to be about Paul Bettany, it ends up being about something entirely different. Though he is the main person at first, other stories are added and the focus is taken off of him. I haven't seen many movies do that. They made you believe he wasn't important until his time had come to do something good or to reveal something we didn't know. Although the conversation between De Gues and Bettany at the end of the movie was rather tiresome at somepoints, I higly enjoyed the camera movement and editing. De Gues would be speaking and the camera would cut to another angle of him and he would just be staring at Bettany, but his voice still continued. Very eery, considering the nature of his character. DeFoe was a very enjoyable character, but what impressed me overall about the film... was the imagery.
Strange scenes depicting the preperation and lives of the actors. Though the scenes seemed meaningless, they held an intriguing peculiarity about them.
Also, the woman who was accused for the murder did an amazing job at acting without having ot speak. I was actually moved by her silence.
I could see why The DaVinici could got Bettany to play that crazy monk, because he just looks so befitting in a black robe. -

This has a lt of meaning and search for one man's redemption as well as the aiding for another's innocent redemption and the coup de tat of the guilty hierarchy in turn while searching for his own, and giving his play company mates a purpose for their wandering and showmanship...all in act for the search of his own redemption. It draws strings I tell ya. Mine.

This film had a very compelling story, and incredible acting. (Paul Bettany!) But the camera cuts! Yikes! They get annoying pretty fast.

Little known movie. Awesome acting. A few slow parts, just so that you can get the story. Wonderful, powerful ending.

A very underrated, barely known movie. Despite some slow parts, it really is a good story about a man coping with and confronting his past sins, and using himself to help others. The acting is fantastic, as well.

Goes to show that medieval drama really can stir things up in a small fiefdom. Great turns by both Dafoe and Bettany.

Simple movie. Bonne histoire. Vive le théâtre et les meurtres dégoutants. *Ça lève absolument le coeur quand Bettany est assis sous le cadavre mort qui a la peste et des mégas pustules et bubons et a casiment l'air d'aimer ça!!
