One of the finest historical adventure films ever made, The War Lord dramatises with uncommon intelligence and integrity the brutality, difficulties and injustices of the Middle Ages. Charlton Heston (Ben Hur, Touch of Evil, The Ten Commandments) stars as Chrysagon, an honoured knight who takes over a castle tower in the swampland of Normandy to strengthen his duke’s authority. But his struggles to maintain power in the face of Pagan villagers, barbarian attackers and his brother’s jealous counsel are shaken by his growing weariness with bloodshed in a cruel world. Never before released for home viewing in the UK, this collaboration between OSCAR-winning director Franklin J. Schaffner and the legendary Charlton Heston, three years before their iconic reunion on Planet of the Apes, is a gripping saga of ferocious battles, heartfelt emotion and powerful storytelling. ‘One of [Schaffner’s] best films, along with Planet of the Apes and Patton.’ – Time Out Film Guide ‘A fascinating, literate and rather disturbing excursion into the past. Four Stars.’ – Radio Times ‘Heston delivers a hard-hitting performance.’ – Variety SPECIAL FEATURES: New anamorphic 2.35:1 digital transfer – Uncompressed PCM audio – Optional music & effects track – Original theatrical trailer

Title: Quand en zone 2 ?
Review: Quand aurons-nous droit en zone 2 à ce chef-d’oeuvre absolu du film médiéval ? Ou à un repassage miraculeux sur une chaîne française ? Shaffner n’a pas raté grand chose dans sa carrière, mais là tout est parfait : Histoire, réalisation, distribution. Superbe récit romantique et violent, où rien n’est carton-pâte, ni dans les scènes d’action époustouflantes de réalisme, ni dans… les sentiments. Heston plus qu’immense, mais tout le monde est au niveau. Une merveille à chérir.

Title: chef d’oeuvre suprême
Review: Vous qui n’avez jamais vu ce film, je vous envie! Pièce maitresse du film d’aventures historiques, « the warlord » enchaine les scnèes d’actions d’une fureur et d’une violence rares pour l’époque. Pour la première fois à Hollywood, l’accent est mis avec ce film sur la réalité historique. Et, en effet, tout sonne juste dans l’histoire de ce seigneur normand désabusé qui hérite d’un fief abandonné de Dieu et des hommes dans une vallée marécageuse que domine un donjon cyclopéen. C’est dans ces terres de désolation que vont se jouer les destins maudits de ces personnages en quête d’identité ou de rédemption. Le casting est superbe avec en tête un Charlton Heston éblouissant dans son rôle de guerrier désabusé. Shafner le retrouvera 3 ans plus tard pour signer un autre chef d’oeuvre: la planète des singes…

Review: The War Lord was released in 1965 at the end of the Epic era when the old historical extravaganzas had just about gone out of fashion. This movie is actually not much of an epic but more just a pretty realistic story of what life must have been like in the dark ages. There are plenty of convincing action scenes though and the acting is pretty good in general. There is also a haunting musical score by Jerome Moross that fits in very well. I think it was a 4 star effort.

Review: Una gran colaboración entre Franklin Schaffner y Charlton Heston. Una película de Hollywood que fue de las primeras en tratar de alejarse de los estereotipos románticos habituales al ambientar en la Edad Media. Tal y como dicen las notas que acompañan a la edición, uno de los primeros encontronazos de Schaffner y Heston con los productores fue el empeño de aquellos en que el corte de pelo de los soldados (comenzando por el Señor de la Guerra, Crisagon de la Cruz, interpretado por Heston) reflejase lo más fielmente posible el estándar de la época, algo que los productores intuyeron que podía contribuir a mermar el sex-appeal de su estrella principal. Otra cosa que destaca en la historia es el intento que hace el guión por distanciarse y presentar con objetividad el conflicto entre el fanatismo cristiano y las tradiciones paganas asentadas en la población rural. Incluso la historia pone en evidencia la hipocresía en tratar de mantenerse fiel al cristianismo, pero estar a la vez beneficiándose de una tradición de origen pagano (el derecho de « pernada »).Las escenas de acción están muy bien resueltas (aunque la sangre falsa resulta demasiado falsa, al estilo Hammer). El reparto es excelente. Yo destacaría a los dos secundarios: Richard Boone, que interpreta al leal y fiel escudero de Crisagon; y a Guy Stockwell, que interpreta al retorcido y rencoroso hermano de Crisagon.En cuanto a la presentación en alta definición, me ha parecido excelente, teniendo en cuenta la realización original de la película y su fotografía. Las escenas iniciales pueden sorprender negativamente a más de uno. No tengo claro si fueron rodadas en decorados (con la torre y el horizonte pintados en un fondo) o bien rodadas en exterior añadiendo ópticamente un fondo pintado con la torre y el pantano. Lo cierto es que dan el pego muy bien, gracias al filtro de fotografía que « añade » bruma a la composición. En esta y en otras escenas con « efecto bruma », la imagen presenta mucho grano cinematográfico y menos detalle. Sin embargo, en escenas rodadas en decorados interiores (el magnífico y un tanto claustrofóbico decorado de la torre) y en las de exteriores a plena luz del día, la fotografía luce en todo su esplendor, detalle y resolución. Evidentemente, no estamos hablando de « Avatar », ni « Gladiator », pero en mi opinión, no es probable que esta película del año 1965 pueda disfrutarse en mejores condiciones en un reproductor doméstico. No hay más que ver lo bien que lucen los detalles del vestuario y, en especial, las armaduras y las cotas de malla, que en determinados momentos parecen estar en 3D (o al menos en 2,5D).

Review: WOW!!! I found this movie by accident while looking at the Asian movie with the same title!!! Why I missed this one I have no Idea? I am a huge fan of history especially from the 1700’s back to biblical times & ancient civilizations! The minute I read the reviews & saw the stars in this movie I new I must have it!!! This movie has the perfect mix of romance & action. They do a great job endearing you to the characters in brief dialogue & through the characters actions & attitudes. You rarely see movies dealing with the Frisians, And this movie has Normand’s ,Celt’s & Frisians! It may not be 100% accurate in its dealings with the Celtic belief’s but for its time it is pretty accurate! The costume designs are period correct as are the siege battle tactic’s & weapons even the fight scene’s are more accurate than usual for this period in movie making. The scene were the Frisian warrior uses his ax to hook & unbalance Charlton Heston pops to mind! The cinematography is excellent at times even beautiful! The subject matter is much deeper than the usual movies of this period. I have a lot of medieval movies & this rates up with the best of them. My daughter was even impressed saying it looks more modern than other films from this period. The musical score is superb as it helps set the mood through out the movie! The Norman’s are creeped out by the Druid pagan mysticisms of the Celt’s & look down their noses at the barbarism of the Frisian culture as though there own warlike usurping of Britain is for the betterment of mankind, L.O.L. such were the times! I am very happy to add this gem that has evaded me for so many years to my collection. I don’t no if it is a rare movie or not but it was a pleasant surprise to discover it! Many people misunderstand & think Saxon’s are Briton’s this is not true the Saxons were Germanic tribesmen hired as mercenaries to fight for the true Britons the Celts. The Saxons when done fighting settled in the British Isles. The Normans are also misunderstood they were « Norsemen »/Viking’s hired as mercenaries by the true inhabitants of France a Celtic group called the Gaul’s. Like the Saxon’s when the fighting was over the Norman mercenaries settled in the country they were fighting for, France. During the medieval times Knights from France were referred to as Norman’s regardless of their true lineage. The same was true for Knights coming from the British Isles being erroneously labeled as Anglo-Saxon’s or just Saxon’s. The original inhabitants of the British Isles were the Pict’s a small lean dark skinned race of peoples that had weapons of Flint. They were driven out by the Celt’s a large heavily built fair haired peoples who work in bronze.
