arn - the knight templar (2007)


aka Arn - Tempelriddaren.
"Nothing can keep us apart."
Arn (Joakim Nätterqvist), a Swedish nobleman's son is sent to a monistry to be educated, and comes under the influence of a warrior monk. This leads to him becoming a Knight Templar when he is banished to the Holy Land, as penance for having a child out of wedlock. As he leaves he vows to the woman that he will return for her...but his return does not bring the peaceful retirement that he would like.
A Swedish epic, (the most expensive film ever produced in Sweden), is a romantic adventure, showing that with time and thought, such films can be made outside of the American film system. There's nothing particularly new here, but it entertains none the less.
