A woodman's family and village was attacked 15 years ago. His wife was killed and his daughter was kidnapped. He gave chased across the globe but never found her. Then one day she returns...
This one of the best and most realistic fantasy films I have ever seen. There is a perfectly constructed world. The magic in this world makes perfect sense. It's not over done or flashy but perfectly integrated into the story and the world. Most importantly the film gives us real people as characters. These aren't the archetypes you find in Dungeon and Dragons films, but variations of people we know.
I was floored. Watching the film I was watching a film that belonged not just at genre festivals, but at the big festivals like Toronto or New York. This is a film that is about way more than just spells and monsters. This is a film about the human condition.
This is a super film...and it has some cool beasties.... go see this...
Highly recommended.
