The story is not a cheerful one, however, and is not the standard 'blockbuster' formula and checklist of ingredients. But it is an engaging dramatization of good book, with a great cast of actors.

About this product

Product Information

A tale from fourteenth century England of a young priest, Nicholas, who breaks his vow of chastity and has to escape the wrath of his bishop and fellow monks. He stumbles across the murder of one of the performers in a group of travelling actors and subsequently ends up joining the troupe replacing the murdered man. When they arrive in a town to give a performance they hear that a boy has been killed and a young deaf-mute girl has been sentenced to death for witchcraft and murder. The troupe discover that the town knows that the girl did not commit the murder and the stage becomes the place where truths are told. Nicholas eventually comes to terms with his sins and makes a great sacrifice.

Additional InformationSet in England during the late 1300s, Paul McGuigan's THE RECKONING follows Nicholas (Paul Bettany), a young priest literally running from his past. After encountering a band of wandering actors, Nicholas is grudgingly allowed into the fold by the good-natured Martin (Willem Dafoe). When the troupe reaches an impoverished village, they get word of a strange murder and look into the story as the basis for a new play. However, Nicholas and Martin uncover more than they'd expected, and soon a deeper mystery emerges. Meanwhile, as Nicholas attempts to find justice, he also struggles to come to terms with his own troubled history.<BR>A medieval murder mystery in the vein of THE NAME OF THE ROSE, THE RECKONING is based on the Barry Unsworth novel MORALITY PLAY. Under the artfully somber direction of previous collaborator McGuigan, Bettany turns in an excellent performance as a guilt-ridden priest struggling to atone for his sins. In addition to Dafoe, the film also features fine supporting actors such as Brian Cox and Gina McKee. Utilising its historical backdrop to the fullest extent, THE RECKONING immerses the audience in its medieval setting, revealing the period's many hardships and enhancing the drama of this intriguing, unfolding mystery.

    The reckoning dvd

    A movie about a medieval actor group sounded quite interesting. I saw the dvd’s cover from a very old total film magazine from 2004. And now it’s on my shelf. Thanks eBay.
