The Mortal Decree
0 votes
A demoralized soldier is lost in the wilderness, one of the few remaining in a militia for hire known as the Mortal Decree. As their deranged General pushes the ill-equipped survivors on a manic hunt for 'the enemy', Henri Fabergé must face the absurdity of his own mortality, experiencing the loss of his friends, of his moral compass, and of his own mind. A disturbing examination of war, power, friendship and honour, the film's tone pivots from dark comedy to a metaphysical dream as our anti-hero is made to realize that the enemy is never what it seems.
