Alfred the Great
While Old England is being ransacked by roving Danes in the 9th century, Alfred is planning to join the priesthood. But observing the rape of his land, he puts away his religious vows to take up arms against the invaders, leading the English Christians to fight for their country. Alfred soundly defeats the Danes and becomes a hero. But now, although Alfred still longs for the priesthood, he is torn between his passion for God and his lust for blood.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Visual style and narrative structure don't conflict here — they work together. It's noticeable and creates a sense of wholeness.
Worth watching for the overall quality of execution. Not a genre landmark — but solid work that respects the viewer.
For viewers who watch a lot and can distinguish craft from accident.
