Swedish epic movie about a knight. 2007. Director: Peter Flinth.
Arn Magnusson (Joakim Nätterqvist) grow up in a monastery after surviving a fall from a tower. He's parents believed that god had saved their son, and to thank him they put their little boy in a monastery. Brother Guilbert (Vincent Perez) helps him on the way to become a man.
When Arn leave the monastery, he's a good warrior, but very naive. He meet the lovely Cecilia (Sofia Helin) who becomes pregnant with his child. This is a very serious crime, to get pregnant with a man who she's not married to. So they are both ordered to do 20 years of penance.
This movie is all right, but I wouldn't say that it's a masterpiece. The environments are nice but the movie is too long and unfortunately, too boring. The parts in Jerusalem are just weird and doesn't fit in. First, there's lovely woods and then a desert. Maybe it sounds weird that I find it not fitting in, but when I ssaw the movie, I just thought so.
