Actually a pretty good movie, well acted, excellent portrayal of life in the Middle Ages. Told in three parts, the viewpoint of her husband, the viewpoint of the accused and the viewpoint of the woman.
It’s all very well done, but sort of a relief when they finally get around to the duel. Like UFC but with horses, armor and swords, axes and lances.
Spoiler alert; all the men are jerks, but heck, back then, they might have been 🙂
