Director : Ben HopkinsProducer : Robert Jones
Screenwiter : Ben Hopkins
Starring : Noah Taylor,Stuart Townsend,Sean McGinley,Embeth Davidtz,Amanda Ryan,Rutger Hauer,Ian Holm,Terence Rigby,Toby Jones,Jim Dunk,Ursula Jones
What the hay? Noah Taylor plays a young (and crazy) Jew who is cast out of his
temple because he makes up his own words to the prayers -- not to mention
because he thinks he talks to the devil, too -- and then he gets all wrapped up
in a local land squabble. Huh? Either I just didn't get this... or it really
was a lost couple of hours.
Note this is a different film than Simon mágus, a Hungarian film which also
came out in 1999 (and which we have not reviewed).
