Attempting to evade the turmoil of France's Hundred Years' War, Parisian student Heron of Foix (Assaf Dayan) decides to journey to the sea. En route, he meets the pretty aristocrat Lady Claudia (Anjelica Huston), and the couple begin a romance amid the intense conflict. As the struggle between peasants and noblemen rages on, Heron and Claudia take shelter at a monastery -- but even their newfound love can't completely keep the horrors of war at bay.

A Walk With Love and Death has a feeling to it, and though it doesn’t quite come to enough, it has an unusual integrity of vision. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias The Dissolve 01/13/2014

Not so much A Walk with Love and Death as it is a casual stroll. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 02/23/2012
Director John Huston tells his story [from a novel by Hans Koningsberger] unhurriedly, lingering over details of style and torture with equal unsparing lenses. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/24/2013 an unusual choice for director john huston starring his daughter Anjelica. See more 11/28/2010 This film has gotten a bad rap, but it's actually rather lovely. See more 11/06/2010 Interesting, I'll give it that. Is it a political film with an apolitical stance, or is it vice-versa, or is it neither? Am I looking at this thing the wrong way? Odds are I am, but there's enough in there to chew on for the time being. I think I'll have to revisit it at some stage, perhaps when I've seen more of Huston's stuff. The acting is a little uneven, but it looks nice and purdy - and the score is good, too. An unusual flick, that's for sure. See more 12/13/2008 Humble, spiritual and beautiful. A very underrated film, that wishes to be discovered again. See more 07/04/2008 "a great glittering plain of water..." Anjelica, je t'aime! Grand flim See more Read all reviews
