Watched the Son of Raw's The Roman (2016) on Amazon Prime. This is an atmospheric independent classic, I will watch it again.
One lonely Roman general is wounded in battle. He heads toward the woods to die like a wounded animal. Once entering the woods he is granted another day by the gods. He meets an Egyptian slave who has left his camp and both men meet in a death ridden forest and are tested. They travel through the northern lands not knowing what awaits them. The roman gripped by death and the slave wary of his every move.
The year is 400AD in what is known now as western Europe. After an unprovoked battle with Germainian barbarians, a roman general is left wounded alone on the battlefield seeking refuge in a vast forest to regain his strength, he questions morality and tries to come to terms with rapidly progressive time and in isolation, he tends to his mortal wounds. It is in this forest of refuge where he is granted another day to live by the gods, and will cross paths with another traveler equally lost. The two men will be challenged and tested by nature, each other and the inner most conflicting primordial affiliations with mans body and mind. With death close to the roman, hovering over him like his shadow what will this journey hold for both men? discover everything your heart and mind desires in this openly suggestive feature about the human connection.
