One of the saddest things I have ever seen in my life. I had to hide my eyes a lot of the time, it was so bloody, but I kept on watching to see the end. Gripping, heart-wrenching. Can't imagine buying it though - who could watch it again? I had never heard of this story, and am still not quite sure of where it fits in history, but it is one that deserves to be told. The women especially are incredible, poised, strong, full of emotion. What actors! So much romance struck me as not quite true to the period, but who knows? I specially liked how the mocking 'Jewish traitor' who was taking their story down was in the end almost struck dumb by the conclusion of their tale. Very powerful story, not for the fainthearted, or those with weak stomachs unless you hide for the many bloody parts, as I did.
