All rights reserved.Tristan & Isolde (2006, DVD)
| Movie Description Director Kevin Reynolds (WATERWORLD) delivers a memorable, good-looking version of the enduring Celtic legend, which has remained a quintessential love story throughout centuries of retelling. Ridley Scott makes his presence felt as executive producer, with the story unfolding on an epic scale set in medieval England. The English live under the iron rule of the Irish, and the young Tristan's parents are working to unite the tribes of England against their oppressors. When they are murdered by Irish infiltrators, Tristan is rescued by Lord Marke (Rufus Sewell, HELEN OF TROY), in whose kingdom he is raised as a son. Tristan (James Franco, SPIDER-MAN 2) grows up to be a valiant warrior and noble knight, and when he is felled in battle he is given a king's memorial, sent to sea in a boat that washes up on Irish shores. There, Tristan is revived and healed in secret by the beautiful Princess, Isolde (Sophia Myles), who at the insistence of her handmaiden doesn't tell Tristan her real name. The two beautiful young people inevitably fall in love, but their passion is cut short when Tristan is forced to flee home to England. Tristan eventually returns to Ireland to compete on Marke's behalf in a tournament for the Princess's hand in marriage, and only when he wins does he realize his error when he learns the Princess's true identity. Thus Isolde returns as Marke's bride, and, unable to deny their passion, the lovers take up a treacherous affair behind Marke's back. As Marke's enemies begin to suspect, they devise a plan to use Tristan's betrayal to break up the tenuous alliance between the English tribes.

Like the other reviewers, I loved this movie the first time I saw it and bought it immediately. I too liked Sophie Myles and watch her on the show Moonlight now. The commentary is also very interesting. Worth having in your personal video library. KM Review ID: 10000000005112029 Was this review helpful? Report this review RomanticI first saw this movie on HBO and got hooked on it. I had my daughter watch it and I saw parts that didn't click the first time I watched it. I bought this for my daughter who loves old age and historic themes. She is crazy about it and has researched all the characters well. Now we watch Moonlight because of Sophia Miles who is a great actress. Rufuss Sewell is also a terrific actor...I would rate this an A.....I must say though, you must pay attention or one could get lost, but with us for as often as we watch, we know it by heart...enjoy Review ID: 10000000004933414 Was this review helpful?
