The Reckoning (2003)

[muccamukk]

Fandom name: The Reckoning (2003)
Medium/Location: Live action movie, 2-hour run time. Can be rented on youtube, etc.
Summary: A defrocked priest falls in with a travelling theatre company, and together they solve crime. Set in 12th-century England.
Content warnings: Some pretty graphic violence, major character death, also a fair amount of discussion of sexual violence against children.
Why I like it: Something of an odd period piece, but one that really gets the past is a different country vibe where the characters really do seem to have a different world view. It has an intriguing focus on society's outcasts, where everyone doesn't quite fit into the world, but the outcast society still has a stratified world of its own. Also there's a lot of gender play, the leads (played by Paul Bettany and Willem Dafoe) are really slashy.

I'll also be requesting this for highadrenalineexchange.
