Wow! What a film! As I continue to try and digest this gentle but barbaric look at two medieval "clans" who happen to be bitter rivals one thing strikes me, this is certainly one of the closest adaptions of that particular period. Vláčil carefully crafted a tale of real textures and this translates through to the viewer. Often times this film feels ethereal, almost as if he had a time machine and filmed it 1200 years ago. I'm not sure about the rewatchability factor but if you can, I highly recommend seeing it at least once.
