The camera work and momentum reminds me of some South American soap operas... some scenes have minimalistic dialogues like its some ancient japanese theatre but take up so much time for nothing. It sometimes feel like sample reel recordings for the real shot that never happened. Some close up shots are very odd and there is no post editing. Story telling has no real transitions for example: You dont feel the tension of a besieged royal capitol town they just talk about the invaders and then they already stormed to the palace... some shots of fearful villagers before the attack etc. would have done it. Some more small details everything is upfront.

The producer wanted to develop everything through dialogues and symbolic room shots but failed hard.

It seems to be made for people who cant differ good acting from bad acting.
