SYNOPSIS
 
From Bartosz Konopka, the Academy Award®-nominated director of the 2010 documentary short Rabbit à la Berlin (Królik po berlinsku), comes the dark thriller SWORD OF GOD. In the early Middle Ages, a contingent of knights embarks on a dangerous journey to spread Christianity and baptize the pagan inhabitants of an isolated village hidden deep in the mountains of a faraway island. After being shipwrecked, the two survivors set out to complete their mission, but as they attempt to convert the tribe, their diverging beliefs put them at odds with one another. Soon, love is confronted with hate, peace with violence, sanity with madness, and redemption with damnation.

"From the first frames, [Sword of God] declares itself as a stunning showcase of experiential horror.... There are clear inspirations from Nicolas Winding Refn's Valhalla Rising at play, both thematically and visually. Every frame, shot, and sequence are exquisitely constructed, and the cast delivers spellbinding performances. Though the horror is steeped in realism, this is a horror film through and through."
-- Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
 
"...enrapturing, beautiful, and deeply uncomfortable. One of the most fascinating works of Polish cinema, and horror in general, that I've had the pleasure to see this year and beyond."
