Just caught this today on Netflix Watch Now. WHat a great film, and I checked you writeup Tac and you are spot on, this is a must watch. I was so tookin by one of the scences in this film. Here it is on youtube and although it is not really spolierish you might want to watch what leads up to it before taking a look.


The first part of the clip is good, but the next scene in it is just totally
amazing.

Aye, it's great isn't it? Considine and Kebbell steal the show but every time I watch it I'm amazed at what a good job Gary Stretch does, especially when you consider his other acting work. Don't think he was even first choice for the role.

This thread reminds me I still need to see this flick.

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Indeed you do, it's a great film... Though I think it broke me when I saw it. I've only seen it the once and I'm not in a hurry to see it again at the moment. I was totally unprepared for it.
