The Most Accurate Sword Fight in Cinematic History?
If you think that Geralt vs Renfri is the best sword fight on film, you're wrong. THIS is the best sword fight in cinematic history. See "Zrodzeni do Szabli / Born to the Sabre" here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/bornforthe... The swordplay in this film is pretty fantastic. I could only spot one moment where choreography and cinematic timing truly deterred from the fighting - but that can be expected when the film is produced by a Fencing society - specifically the Art of Cross-Cutting Association (Stowarzyszenie Sztuka Krzyzowa) and two renowned fencers (the Sieniawski Brothers). Poland has a long history of excellent sabre fights, from Potop / The Deluge (1974) to more contemporary films such as these, and that lineage shows in the fencing displayed in Polish cinema. The film itself is separated into two parts, with a cinematic narrative story based on the life of a young member of the Szlachta, or nobility, and his progress with the sabre, and the second part is a documentary format, detailing the historical sources and interpretations that went into making the film, and how the sword used in it was made (with swordmaker Zbigniew Juszkiewicz). It feels a lot like a directors cut, to be honest. I kinda wish they had released a cinematic cut, and a directors cut. But I understand their reasoning behind the format. Overall, I enjoyed the film. The narration (in Polish) was clear, and the acting was pleasant. The fencing, as noted, was brilliant (video on that topic soon). Some of the documentary commentary was... less great. I disagree with Juszkiewicz' assertion that aligning a blade with earths magnetic poles during a quench influnces the curvature. Overall, a good watch for anyone into Polish Sabre, or the szlachta. (Worth noting that I watch this in Polish, with no subtitles, but subtitles are available in english. If that's not your thing, you may struggle with this film). #PolishSabre #PolskaSzabla #FightScene 00:00 Introducing Zrodzeni do Szabli 00:40 Analysis of the Sabre Fighting 3:00 Summary of Techniques 3:55 Cross Cutting, and Polish Sabre Durability 5:00 Review of cinematography and production 5:40 Where to watch it
