I saw this film at the closing screening of the 2001 Edinburgh Film Festival.
It is a sumptuous, beautiful-to-look-at, film set in Northern India (Rajastan and the Indian Himalayas). Undisclosed time period (could be timeless)where the Warrior of the title tires of the (to him) senseless brutality of the local Lord towards 'his people'.
The story unfolds simply - this is no deep and meaningful philosophical tome - and in many ways obviously (although it does not spoil the enjoyment and appreciation).
Photography, colour, direction all add up to a great first feature from Asif Kapadia.
