Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone in the mood for a love story and anyone who likes a world with its own rules, this one's for you. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else.
- The mood
- Intense, warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1930: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
The Latvian epic "Lāčplēsis" resounds through time and parallels the struggles of a Latvian soldier and his love before, during and after WWI.
