A fascinating insight into rarely mentioned historical events. Good acting. Well directed. Great soundtrack. Interesting locations. Very atmospheric, really bringing this very well researched film to life. There has clearly been a lot of work put into putting this film together.
What is really interesting are the important parallels to modern society, and what we can learn from this. Different people will probably take different things from it, the film is quite objective, so the facts speak for themselves, but the conclusions drawn from these are where the lessons really lie.
As we witness modern day 'heretics' being silenced this is a poignant film, especially as the modern day heretic could well be you.
