In response to comments disparaging this film for neglecting to use music from the opera– that hardly seems relevant. This story was written long before Wagner’s work existed, and it would be foolish to demand that his music be a part of the film. It seems to be of greater significance that the film neglects certain elements of the original texts, although as an entirely different art form, the film has every right to take its liberties. It is unfair to credit or discredit any film based on its relationship to other works of art. It is important to appreciate and discredit this film within the context of the art form in which it functions.

Great passion of heroes and viewers! Lovely film!
“Love is made by God, all the rest (honor, riches, courage) are just shadows of life and happiness”

If people hear “a classic story of passionate love”, this usually makes them think of ROMEO AND JULIET. Yet, fewer of them know that there had been TRISTAN AND ISOLDE before…a passionate couple who were exposed to living in a wrong place at a wrong time. And while the former love story has had many famous screen adaptations, the latter one was not that famous in cinema, except for some barely famous adaptations like Fabrizio Costa’s IL CUORE E LA SPADA (1998). Yet, at the beginning of the 21 century, this story is put on screen by the director of two great epic films: ROBIN HOOD – PRINCE OF THIEVES (1991) and THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (2002).

When TRISTAN AND ISOLDE was released in Poland in June 2006, a lot of people went to see it. As everywhere else, they had different intentions, some did it out of curiosity, some others due to cast, yet some others due to being fond of epic spectacles. When I went to see it, I expected a good film but … it surprised me as an excellent film. Although the movie is not very faithful to the original story, it is a highly entertaining movie which may be considered one of the best early medieval epics. Why? Because of a number of reasons.

TRISTAN AND ISOLDE can boast exceptionally delicate portrayal of love. Reynolds skips the magic and fantasy that appears in the original and there is no love elixir, no dragon, no “two Isoldes” in his film. Yet, the director does not show the love of the two main characters as sexual desires only but rather as affectionate feelings and emotions. Nevertheless, there are moments of highly powerful sensuality and the chemistry between the cast adds a thrill to it. The symbolic final shot is particularly powerful and memorable. Tristan is dying and Isolde is by his side. In the background, we can see a running river that appears to symbolize the running time.

Besides, the action and historical period presentation are very skillfully made. The whole film is filled with very logical sequences that make watching it enjoyable. The focus on the divided 5th century-Britain, the British relations with the Irish, the widespread love to honor promoted so much then create strong bases for understanding of what the entire film is about. The filming locations (Iveragh Peninsula in Ireland) constitute another advantage in this case. I liked most of the scenes from the very first shot of a rabbit and small Tristan, through the following moment that shows a map of the British Isles of that time moving to Ireland where small Isolde weeps on a funeral of her queen mother to the very last shot when two lovers are separated by death. A flow of action is worth attention.

The performances are fine. But though it may seem surprising, these are not James Franco and Sophia Myles that are most memorable, in my opinion. I admit that they are good and fit to the roles (particularly Myles with her delicacy and female charm), but they still leave much to wish. I loved the performance of David O’Hara as king Donnchadh. He is perfect as an honorable king for whom a good name and power mean more than anything else on earth. I also fancied Graham Mullins as giant Morholt (not an actor of profession) and Rufus Sewell as Lord Marke. Marke’s love scenes with Isolde are perfectly contrasted with Tristan’s thanks to performances and camera work. Who can forget the face of Lord Marke when he finds out the truth about Isolde’s secret meetings? Great performances from the supporting cast!

The costumes by Maurizio Millenotti, famous for many other epics since the 1960s, are very accurate for the period presented in the movie. Although this aspect may seem not that important, it is significant for such an epic as TRISTAN AND ISOLDE is. Costumes highly make for an enjoyable epic. I particularly liked the wedding scene – it’s charming to see a bride on a wedding boat in a lovely veil. Maybe sentimental but beautiful.

Also, it is important to mention realistic scenes of fights. They are not very violent but brutal enough to be historically accurate. We see an attack on a village, burning of houses, combats in forests, slaying the captives. But foremost, a must see is a scene of a tournament! The weapon that is showed is a perfect historical accuracy of the time. Of course, there is no equal grandeur and splendor in the fights that took place in Britain than in those of great empires of the time. Yet, we must not forget that it is early Middle Ages… Tristan (James Franco)-Wictred (Mark Strong) fight is lively and natural.

Finally, I have to mention one more aspect of the movie that is a pearl to me. It is its reflection of love. “Love conquers all” and if there is something that may conquer death, it is LOVE. May seem repetitive, but if something is true, isn’t it necessary to keep saying on and on? This aspect makes the epic universal and can be admired by different viewers, even the ones who cannot stand sword and sandal productions.

TRISTAN AND ISOLDE is a wonderful film that I recommend anyone to see. it is a love story, it is an epic, it is a psychological film and a historical outline of that distant past. Passion of heroes and viewers highly worth seeing! 9/10!
