A real mixed bag today, but the one that left the strongest, most visceral impression was "The Dead Lands" from New Zealand, a period piece about a young, inexperienced Maori warrior who swears vengeance on the men that massacred his tribe.
Reminiscent of Japanese samurai movies, it's a film about honour and warrior codes. The numerous action sequences were very well choreographed and shot. Although the story was not terribly original, the locations, the language and other details made it a unique experience. Recommended.
