Watching this film now.
So far pretty decent but the problem is the context.
it is based on an unknown empire wanting to protect its frontier outpost against some barbarians.
Apparently filmed in Morocco, the soldiers wear Spanish or Italian type uniforms. The buildings look North African. But the barbarians look and wear Central Asian Mongolian garb.
So it is very unsettling to try to imagine some sort of pseudo Austro Hungarian empire outpost defending itself against some central Asian horde because it is too fantastic a setting.
Some of you may like it.
