Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas is a 2013 French-German Palme d'Or-nominated film based on an 1810 novella which was based on the story of Hans Kohlhaas, a merchant whose grievance against a Saxon nobleman developed into a full-blown feud against the state of Saxony, thus infringing the Eternal Peace of 1495. I watched it on Amazon Prime, but you can watch it free on Tubi. The Younger Son liked and recommended this. I'm thinking if you liked Barry Lyndon you'll like this. That's the film this most reminds me of in terms of pacing. Deliberate would be a good description. If the title leads you to think this is an action movie, let's correct that right off. If you're looking for action, look elsewhere.

DeleteThat title does make this film sound like its full of action and adventure. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it?! It's a different kind of film entirely.
DeleteThis sounds pretty good.
ReplyDeleteIt was. Not what I expected at all, but a good movie.
DeleteThis sounds interesting.

DeleteI wish it was in English looks good.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it.
DeleteHMMMM! I'm on the fence on this one.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be everybody's idea of a good time.
DeleteHe is quite famous here in Germany. Valerie
ReplyDeleteMy son knows a bit of German history and so was familiar with him.
DeleteIntriguing concept. I liked Barry Lyndon as long as I could read or do something else while I was watching. Too long.
ReplyDeleteSlooooow! Barry Lyndon was sooo slooow!
DeleteI've watched Mads Mikkelsen in a couple of movies and he is always compelling when he's on the screen. Subtitles are more daunting with my wonky eyes but he's been worth the trouble so far. Not free on Prime. I've been leery of Tubi because they make you register and all of that. You've never had any issues with Tubi have you?
ReplyDeleteTubi has been great. No issues at all. You click on the movie, and it plays. I don't remember having to register to watch movies there...
