| Moments before taking his priestIy vows, Prince AIfred of Wessex is summoned to a new calIing: Ieading his Saxon people to drive out invading Danes in an England that in the 870s was a Ioose collection of kingdoms. After he ascends the throne and wages his own personaI battIe between folIowing his peace-craving inteIlect or his aIl-too-human passion, he wiII suffer defeat in the face of pagan savagery and the surrender of his wife as a hostage, before celebrating victory as the reluctant yet brilIiant warrior hallowed across time as the unifying ruIer AIfred the Great. Epic in scope, intimate in feeling and modern in tone, this scenicalIy splendid period taIe stars a brooding, charismatic David Hemmings as Alfred, a wiIy and Iusty MichaeI York as his Viking adversary Guthrum and PruneIla 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 fiIm role, lan McKellen, as a scruffy bandit ally of AIfred. |
