John Hus

Jan Hus was one of my childhood heroes. Not exactly for religious reasons ( in an Greek Orthodox country as Romania , under Ceausescu regime , it is difficult to imagine attraction for Reform ) but for courage to not deny his personal convictions . And, sure, for a 12 years old boy matters, for his atrocious death.

Few lines in history school book are resurrected by this film. A film wise crafted, correct , proposing questions more than a biography.

A universitarian in Prague . His vision about the Church purpose. His powerful truth about be real Christian. And the reaction of Church , state, ordinary people.

Interesting for fair construction and for the touch of time, it is one of films proposing questions and remembers, not made for convince and for controversions but as simple confession about a mission , freedom , duty and the very high price for them.

Not perfect - Marvin Miller is far to be the best Sigismund of Luxemburg - but useful for remind Constanz trial and the circles of late Middle Age circles of power.
