Movie Favorite

"An old myth retold by Ingmar Bergman: the story of the knight who cheats Death, one of the loss of faith, of redemption, of the triumph of innocence in the person of the holy fool and his young family. Although one might expect doom and gloom, there is comedy and great beauty, but mixed with a feeling of relentless fate. The shot of the dead reeling across the horizon in a macabre dance, though seen only briefly, must be one of the most famous images on film."

Myth meets contemporary

What a unexpected read this was. In fairness, I didn’t have a lot of preconceptions, considering my last encounter with Diana Prince was the very old series years ago. It was a exciting read, packed full of action with a great Greek mythological context and background. I didn’t expect the contemporary setting for some reason but it worked really well. I enjoyed seeing Leigh Bardugo’s words set in the contemporary world. The diverse characters were both fun and real. I could really read more from this world and these characters.
