What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

Set in 18th-century Eastern Europe, the film concerns the star-crossed romance between a Polish military officer and a gorgeous Slavic princess. The princess' vengeful lover cuts a path of death and destruction throughout the land.
