typical american audiences don't have the patience or intelligence to appreciate foreign films. they want guns, titty, explosions, and vin diesel.

however, if thick plots involving feudal espionage, rustic dark age science, native american folklore, and the best martial arts scenes not produced by american or asian markets are your thing, then you'll probably enjoy this movie. the feel of the movie is similar to bram stoker's dracula, but quicker paced.

Sounds good, Gerbz.

For some deep unknown reason i have always disliked the French language but the title is sooooooooooo much cooler in french.

If you crave an over-the-top historical kung fu-fantasy epic with a good dose of voluptuous nudity, bravura machismo, and passions so intense they verge on ridiculous, then Brotherhood of the Wolf is your movie. Based (loosely) on an 18th-century legend, this French film follows a hunky scientist (Samuel Le Bihan, who's sort of a second-string Christopher Lambert) and his Iroquois sidekick/spiritual partner (Mark Dacascos) as they pursue a monstrous wolf ravaging the French countryside. Along the way Le Bihan gets entwined with a beautiful noblewoman (Émilie Dequenne) and a gorgeous prostitute (Monica Belluci) with secrets. The plot grows more and more incomprehensible, but the mix of torrid emotions, outrageous action sequences, and lurid titillation is really what the movie is about. Ignore the highbrow philosophizing and confused political intrigue; just enjoy the sensual images.
