Murder in the Cathedral
Recounting the love-hate relationship between 12th century British monarch Henry ll and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, the film is unique in its use of mainly non-professional actors to tell the story of Becket's temptations before he was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170.

A direct to screen adaptation of T.S. Eliot stage play about the murder Archbishop Thomas Becket. Or more the slow burn leading up to the killing. Stiff, heavy-handed and stagnant presentation, representable of what a stage adaptation would look like, with only minor adjustments done for the camera. It's a deliberate artistic choice, and I'm not sure if I'm any richer because of it.
