But at least there was a sword fight.
This is the story of three generations of jewish Hungarian men told against the back drop of Hungary. Best of all, all three generations are played by Ralph Fiennes.
Well, not so good. Fiennes got to chomp on a lot of scenery in this melodramatic picture. In every age he gets to be unfaithful and question his religious back ground. And at three hours in length, that is a lot of chewing.
I watched this because the middle generation is partially based on a famous Hungarian fencer named Attila Petschauer. But looking back on the records, the only thing they have in common was they were killed in Eastern Europe and they fenced Sabre at a high level.
Yes, there is some Sabre fencing in the middle, but it is not worth sitting through three hours of a film to see.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
