1612 (Vladimir Khotinenko, 2007, on DVD). A historical low fantasy epic set in 17th century Russia during the Time of Troubles which ended with the establishment of the Romanov dynasty. Its an entertaining movie, with nice scenery and props/costumes. And some of the fencing isn't too bad, although there are a bunch of silly spinning techniques and armour is mostly useless. Its a bit nationalistic, but I'm used to that from American films.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
