(Note: the 2 stars is for the Spectrum DVD version.)
I really can't say if this is a good movie or a bad one. It is visually masterful, but the Spectrum DVD (with the "Les Insurgés" subtitle) had the most appalling English translation that I've ever seen. I have tolerated imperfect English before -- but this hampered my understanding so that I had a hard time telling, at first, who were the Christians and who weren't -- and what all the commotion was about.
For Shim Eun Ha fans, she's practically unrecognizable, she hardly appears and her character offers nothing to the story.
I would like to view a better version of this film some day, but I won't be rushing to do so.
