I watched the 312 minute (5 hours & 12 minutes) version. This was a big one. The scene where the children watch their mother yell in agony over the coffin gave me the chills. Alexander is so punk rock in the scene where the Bishop puts him on trial. Seriously though, the Bishop is one of the biggest villains in cinema. He’s such a dick. I think I liked this as much as I did mainly because I love HAMLET and there are so many parallels here for obvious reasons. To be honest the first hour and a half didn’t do much for me — all the Christmas stuff. After that it gets really good. Ewa Fröling also really reminds me a lot of Emila Clarke.
