is it historically accurate in any way? no! but watching the artful dodger was just a damn blast, ok. i'm not a romance guy generally but they got me! they truly did! and oh how i love characters being insane about science (in this case, medical science. surgery.) white shirts with flowy long sleeves soaked in blood is a fashion statement i can get behind. all i'm saying is that it's fucked if it isn't continued.
i'm not even sure what to say. that was an experience. i'm not a fan of horror as a rule, but i managed through it and it was worth it, it was so worth it. father paul the character that you are...
a very beautiful film. i like a good story that closely follows a character throughout a long span of their life, where you can see them grow and change with experiences and environments. gorgeous cinematography (all done on location, in the archipelago of åland, as i understand!) so you can really get a sense of the nature and its power.
