It was a box office smash, though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for history buffs and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Same wavelength as Belfast or Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 50 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1919: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
The love affair between King Alfonso VIII of Castile and Rahel la Fermosa, a Jewish woman.
