Stara baśń Dark Age battle scene (2004)

I'll always prefer history to fantasy - this film looks a great mix of both based on a Polish fairy tale... I discovered it while looking for something else - it's a spectacular battle scene. Viking reenactment is hugely popular in Europe - why not give it a go?
Film by Jerzy Hoffman based on the book "Stara Basn" written by Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski. "The story of 'When the Sun was God An Ancient Tale' is happening one hundred years before the christening of Poland in the world of magic and pagan witchcraft, where the gods take active parts in the lives of ordinary men. In the land of Polan people, the power belongs to the cruel prince Popiel, who according to a legend was finally eaten by mice...
