荷兰导演保罗·韦尔霍文首部进军美国影坛的中世纪传奇动作片,风格强烈而狂妄。男主角拉特格.豪厄主演霍文的《橘子战士》而成名,两人再度合作时已身价大涨。故事描述十六世纪时欧洲发生十字军东征,浪人马丁与一群乌合之众组成十字军四出攻城略地,爵爷曾答允在破城后让手下掠取财物二十小时,但其后食言,更下令军队围捕马丁。在爵爷之子史蒂芬与安妮举行婚礼时,马丁率众前来报仇抢走安妮。史蒂芬为了武士英名必须夺回妻子,但安妮却跟马丁日久生情,三角情欲使战火加速燃烧。美国女星珍妮弗.贾森.利在这部阳刚的暴力片中是红点,表现不俗。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
