Country: GB/FR
Technical: col 117m
Director: Leslie Megahey
Cast: Colin Firth, Jim Carter, Ian Holm, Nicol Williamson, Donald Pleasence
Synopsis:
In medieval France a lawyer moves from Paris to the South-West in search of peace and contentment, but instead comes across a dangerous quarrel between freemasons and gypsies.
Review:
The ridiculous opening concept of a pig on trial for murder ends as a chilling forewarning of the Plague. For all its bawdy inoffensiveness there is an air of danger present in every scene, of the proximity of death.
