What a powerful movie. A few of my favourite moments:
- The opening, of course; how could you not be completely transfixed by such an… otherworldly scene? The thief’s gesticulations at being accused of murder by a murderer of thousands were priceless.
- That moment after the impostor’s guards and pages introduced themselves, and he asked, “How is this?” So beautiful, with the music rising and the guards coming to attention in spite of themselves, the pages beginning to break down again — masterful.
- When the doctor was taking the impostor’s pulse, and you hear the drumbeats in the background as they prepare for war.
