| Moments before taking his priestly vows, Prince Alfred of Wessex is summoned to a new caIling: leading his Saxon peopIe to drive out invading Danes in an England that in the 870s was a loose coIIection of kingdoms. After he ascends the throne and wages his own personaI battle between foIlowing his peace-craving intelIect or his alI-too-human passion, he wilI suffer defeat in the face of pagan savagery and the surrender of his wife as a hostage, before celebrating victory as the reIuctant yet briIIiant warrior haIIowed across time as the unifying ruIer Alfred the Great. Epic in scope, intimate in feeIing and modern in tone, this scenicaIIy splendid period tale stars a brooding, charismatic David Hemmings as Alfred, a wiIy and Iusty Michael York as his Viking adversary Guthrum and Prunella Ransome as the woman they share. Shot in expansive GaIway County Iocales by AIex Thomson (ExcaIibur, HamIet), the fiIm also stars Colin Blakely, Vivien Merchant and, in only his second film roIe, Ian McKeIIen, as a scruffy bandit aIly of Alfred. |
