Simon F I loved the theme, the minimalist script and the naturalistic lighting. OK, the candles did have strangely huge flames; but the flickering and dim lighting produced evoked the horrors of the prison perfectly. With the English subtitles I needed, it was for me, a literary experience, enhanced with rich imagery. The lead actor was fantastic and could have stepped out of a Renaissance painting! As a historical narrative, I glimpsed the fear at that time; both for the establishment and the emerging educated common man. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/08/22 Full Review Paolo P Interessante storia che muove dai fatti raccontanti nel saggio di C. Ginzburb: Il formaggio e i vermi. Tempi lenti per una storia che vede al centro la figura di questo mugnaio e del suo scontro con l'Inquisizione nel corso del '500. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/22 Full Review Read all reviews
