La ramera errante

I won't waste much time on this review.

This so-called film is juvenile. And truly bad. They tried to make this seem authentic with the costumes and scenery, but it's a childish attempt.

If you're into second rate acting, writing and direction, this so-called 'film' should be right up your alley.

I constantly didn't believe the characters, acting, script or anything else about it.

There's a concept in film called 'willing suspension of disbelief' which means for a film to be successful you must believe the story, acting, and so forth. That is utterly lacking here.

This film is a 'straight to video' kind of deal. You know what I mean.. it could not make a cent.

0 stars for 'The Royal Siren.~ pdb.

This German TV movie plays in the years 1414 and 1415 in Konstanz, Germany. Its story hails from a novel by Iny Lorentz with the same title. It is gripping and credibly presented. In spite of the relatively low budget of a TV production the settings look authentic, the acting is mostly excellent, and you have to excuse the somewhat artificial dialogues that are typical for German TV movies. The story moves from the house of a wealthy textile trader to a medieval jail, then to the travelling whores, to medieval pubs, and eventually into the houses of the gentry and to the king. Finally our heroine sets out to close the circle and move home. It is a grand story that has the potential to draw you in, that really needs all of the two hours to be told, and that is too rich to allow any slowness. The spoken language is German, and I am currently not aware of the availability of any foreign language dubs or subtitles.

A German Medieval story remembering, in few points, "The Count of Monte Cristo". because it is a story about revenge. maybe about love. predactible, formal, part of a genre so well known than it has not surprises. confuse, remembering a sketch more than a story, but not real bad. because it has its fans and, maybe, not the film butAlexandra Neldel who seems reduce her performance at her simple presence.but it is not fair to judge it. only not have to high expectations. because it is a very familiar story, with specific acting and dialoges, in which the atmosphere is the only significant motif for see the film.
