"Arn: The Knight Templar" and "Arn: The Kingdom at Road's End"
A Scandinavian film about a Swedish crusader. At first, I wondered where the abundance of bloody battles was, like in "Kingdom of Heaven," for example? But I quickly got used to it and became engrossed in analyzing the plot. I wouldn't say that the films are brimming with profound ideas, but there's still something to think about. What I liked most was that the filmmakers invested a huge budget, focusing not on spectacle but on authenticity, as if they weren't counting on a wide audience. There's not much dynamism, but it's beautifully and well-shot, with nothing to criticize. And, of course, it was interesting to somehow connect with the history of Scandinavia.
