The Lithuanian cinema is weak, we have to agree with that. That mainly because of lack of funding by the government etc.

This about the (one of) national hero - Tadas Blind. As noticed in the previous comment - a Robin Hood of Lithuania. The ideas of that time are depicted in the movie and it has this hoary feel to it (well it should, this is not your recently shot movie, so). Though for foreigners it may seem odd and senseless, it is still a movie to be acquainted with before you start going through the Lithuanian filmography (which is rather puny anyway).

Recommended to hardcore movie buffs or anyone else who's into lithuanian cinema.

Well I wasn't waiting for much as just an observation of a life of a monk but I was in for a surprise. This is one of those movies which makes you think and at the same time leaves you in contemplation about the picture itself. Even though I myself don't think I grasped all the symbols in this one, which even more proves to be involving as it gets. The scenery is just superb in all the seasons, you're in for a treat!

I HIGHLY recommend watching this, best if you have like at least 1 hour to brainstorm and let the impressions sink after viewing for max pleasure. You won't regret it.
