This movie is about ninety minutes of purgatory, I think.
Four men from the time period of Oliver Cromwell, I think, during a
battle, I think, escape the perceived carnage by falling through a
rural hedge. They form a four-man band and in a weary, bedraggled
condition, trudge a field with ale on their mind. What follows then is
plain and simple, puzzlement.
After spending an hour figuring out what I had just viewed I've plumped
for, what you reap in life is what you sow in the afterlife.
I also watched the director's vague explanation of what the film is
about and I am none the wiser. I think my assessment will at least give
a future viewer something to mull over.
