WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR (Television Release 2015)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

William the Conqueror—documentary-styled movie—places shallow investigation of William’s life throughout the film almost as if not enough research was done on this historical figure or the information is lacking. The movie orders itself well. The casting of Dan Bronchinson for William seems a bit awkward but interesting.

Additional Thanks 

Thank you to Director Fabien Drugeon for directing effort. Characters/cast include: William of France (Dan Bronchinson), Osbern the Steward (Geoffroy Lidvan), Renouf (Eric Rulliat), William FitzOsbern (Thomas Debaene), and Gilbert (Pierrick Billard). 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. For a simple, brief overview of William’s life, the movie works; but, be aware that the first part of the film tells the story and everything after that is just reiteration.
