If you are interested in medieval times, and in a realistic way, not with CGI effects as many American or Russian features from the last decades give us, in the Hollywood manner; if you search for some kind of Eric Rohmer(s films like features, or even a movie which makes you think about John Huston's A WALK WITH LOVE AND DEATH, this film is definitely for you. A pretty interesting and unusual atmosphere which describes the middle age customs and habits, so weird and offbeat for people of modern times. But of course most of audiences won't be interested in this movie. A very minimalist way of story telling but I love this. The topic about true events that really happened, the trial of a pig accused to have killed a little boy and more, eaten him on Easter Friday - a day where it is forbidden to eat flesh - you have to see it to believe it. I don't regret to have seen it. really.
