Product Description

Visually stunning, this award-winning motion picture epic tells the captivating tale of an ancient warrior who is chased by violence as he searches for peace! Burdened by the guilt of his past, Lafcadia rejects his brutal life as the local enforcer for a rich Indian warlord and chooses a path of spiritual redemption. But as he journeys from the golden deserts of Rajasthan to the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, this former hired killer finds himself the prey of his murderous colleagues! From the studio that brought you HERO, THE WARRIOR features exciting samurai-style action sequences and breathtaking cinematography!

Amazon.com

A beautifully filmed tale set in feudal India, The Warrior tells the story of a man who must decide whether to follow the orders of his cruel boss or do the right thing and put his own life in danger. When Lafcadia realizes he can no longer kill innocent people whose only crime is being poor, he defies his warlord's orders to annihilate a village that has been unable to pay its taxes. Filmed in 2001 by director Asif Kapadia and presented by Anthony Minghella--who, like Quentin Tarantino, is fond of attaching his name to smaller films that may otherwise get overlooked--The Warrior manages to tell a violent story without depicting very much on-screen carnage. Kapadia's subtle direction shows that the viewer's imagination often is more potent than anything Hollywood can dream up. As the hunted warrior Lafcadia, Irfan Khan is a stoically heroic presence. We do not sympathize with what Lafcadia has done in the past, but we empathize with his trying to right his wrongs. --Jae-Ha Kim

Emotional and moving

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2008

I happened to catch this movie on tv just looking for something to watch. The name "Warrior" caught my eye. It wasn't what I expected. The warrior turns out to be more of a killer or assasin. The story is of a man that kills for a rich lord. The lord has power over who lives and dies. A village does not give enough to suit the lord so he sends the "warrior"along with the other killers to teach a lesson by burning and killing and raping. While in the village he almost kills a young girl until he sees a necklace that belonged to his son on the girl. He knows that his son must have given it to the girl and so he drops his sword. This was enough to make him realize that killing innocent people is wrong. He rides off leaving the other warriors in the village. From then on he is on the run to escape his past. He meets many people on the journey and how he interacts with them is quite interesting and compeling. You can't miss any of the movie because there are things along the way that will have meaning later on in the story.The journey is from the desert to the Himalayas and the cinematography is excellent. Acting is very good. Not a lot of dialog. The audience is required to piece together much of the story. It is subtitled but is easily read. The words are put in the outside of the letterbox against a black background. The story could be found to be boring to some. It is not your action type movie. There is plenty of emotional and shoking scenes. I enjoyed it very much. It won a number of awards. I believe he finds what he is looking for this "Warrior". You will have to watch for yourself. I recommend it highly. BTW I bought the dvd

Peace film

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

I teach a course at my University about films that either promote peace or have a peaceful subject, and this film is ideal. The "warrior" is a man who works for a local lord, raping, killing, and pillaging those who don't or can't pay the lord tribute. It's a little like a Mafia protection racket set in 18th century India. The film never directly shows the blood-spattering violence, but there's enough footage to fuel the imagination. Early on in a moment of extraordinary insight the hero vows never to lift another sword. However, the lord has other ideas and sends the same killers after him that he had previously led. One of the beauties of the film is the way the hero deals with these deadly assassins without resorting to violence. After the initial incidents, the movie turns into a road trip, with the hero encountering many fascinating characters and adventures along the way, but the action is never superficial or unnecessary. The characterization is wonderful, and the director uses a real blind woman to play a sort of blind sage whom the hero meets in his travels and wants to protect. The filmmakers have generously supplied one of the best Special Feature presentations of any DVD I've watched, which lays out in detail how it was made and is as enjoyable as the film itself. The stories about the blind woman and the street kid hired to act in the film are really touching. Highly recommended.

Errfan Khan was such an amazing actor. After seeing him in Namesake, I wanted to find other movies he has done. His roles vary quite a bit but he is always special. The plot of this movie was wonderful. It's a journey to such a fine place in human experience. It's got the kind of suspense and evolution that I love most.

Where Alexander the Great failed to conquer India, "the Warrior" has conquered

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2005

Verified Purchase

One of the very best movies from an unknown to most director Asif Kapadia, and even a less known actor Irfan Khan.

The story in short shows how an executioner of the king turns around to be a shepherd of sheeps at the footsteps of the great mount Himalaya, after he has experienced a soul transformation from that of a fearless warrior to that of a broken man.

The story unfolds in a very accurate script as the time of the events occur (check the warrior's armor, my lucky guess is that he took it from a fallen crusader !!) so the story takes place mainly in a muslim world, and way of exercising justice (the king is beheading the farmer because of a poor crop)

Irfan Khan gives a noble battle, and he intends to win it no matter what the cost is, even that of the tragic loss of his only one son.

An example of the nobility of people in arms in a very rough world even that of a muslim. I recommend this film, as a character guide for a better understanding why the Crusaders lost their fight in their war-quest for the Holy city.

Poor editing and much too slow

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2010

The movie is only 87 minutes long. The story is choppy because of deleted scenes. Included in the DVD are the director's deleted scenes. You wonder why these scenes were deleted. They would have made for a better story. The cover picture on the DVD box is a hoax. It gives the impression of an action movie. Not true. The main character spends most of his time wondering around the countryside trying to find himself. There is very little dialogue and very little action in this movie. I found the story to be boring.

Title summarizes the plot.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 30, 2002

This is probably one of the most pretty films I've ever seen. The camera work is lovely. The period and setting is interesting and original. All the film's themes are sensitvely portrayed by the brilliantly selected cast; there are no voids in the suspension of disbelief.
The only problem, in my mind, is that the experience is a bit too minimalist; the plot is a sort of thinned-down asian 'Gladiator', and I think a little more dialogue could have added a lot of depth to the characters. It's a joy to look at, though.

Epic cinema at it's finest

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 5, 2005

Verified Purchase

Ok, let's start off by making this clear, this is The Warrior directed by Asif Kapadia, not the Korean movie, although that sounds interesting too!
The movie centres around The Warrior (oddly enough!) who is the leader of a band of enforcers working for a wealthy Lord. Not knowing my history very well I'm guessing this was pretty much how it was, wealthy people were the ones with a gang of bullies that ruled with an iron hand....
Our hero has a change of heart in an encounter in the middle of a burning village that he and his men had been sent to "teach a lesson" and seeks to change his ways - that would all be fine in that you don't simply leave the Lord that easily....
Whist most of the story is peaceful, violence is kept to a minimum in the same way, as another reviewer points out, is the dialogue. This is a film about relationships - not in the girl/boy sense but almost in the vein of a road movie, various characters meeting in existing with each other.
The lead is charismatic and interesting and displays a range of emotions with little or no apparent effort, when you catch him smiling which is rare here you find yourself doing the same, you feel for the character and what he goes through.....a journey.
The score beautifully accompanies the cinematography which is also beautiful, I'm struggling for superlatives, but that's just it, this film is beautiful. Take it from me, I have a varied taste in movies, I love my Sci-Fi, Horror, World Cinema, etc but this equals the epic Asian movies; Crouching Tiger, Hero and House of Flying Daggers, not in scale or scope (although there is plenty of scale in places) but in beauty.
I watched this with my girlfriend and we were silent in appreciation pretty much through all of the credits, not a normal occurrence I can tell you!
The extras on this disk are great from what I can see, it's less than an hour since I watched it, and the commentary sounded very interesting and provided some intriguing insights into the filmmaking.
This might not inspire all of you like it did me, but I can promise you this is one stand-out movie that deserves to be far more widely appreciated...
I await more of Mr Kapadias work with great interest....

The well-made movie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 29, 2003

Verified Purchase

"The Warrior" has not a word, not a gesture, not an image out of place. Kapadia's film is very much a great poem: It is finished because nothing more can be taken away.
The theme is quest-for-redemption. Classic, simple, universal.
The characters are developed with a look, with a gesture. We understand perfectly, for example, the warrior's feelings towards the thief when, near the end of the film, he inches the thali towards himself teasingly.
Dialogue is (wisely, in my opinion) kept to a minimum. These are not chatty people, so why make them chat?
Visually, the movie is truly beautiful.
Most blockbusters today are very much like rides in an amusement park. The latest "Star Wars", "Lord of the Rings"... But if you are looking for an aesthetic experience, if (for example) you appreciate Satyajit Ray's films, you'll certainly like "The Warrior".

Überwältigend - so muss Kino sein!

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on December 13, 2003

Verified Purchase

"The Warrior" (UK/F 2001) ist Asif Kapadias Regiedebüt, mit dem er 2003 bei den BAFTAs (den britischen Oscars) einen Sonderpreis gewonnen hat.
Zum Inhalt: Indien im Mittelalter. Der "Krieger" erledigt in einer Wüstengegend zusammen mit ein paar anderen die Drecksarbeit für einen lokalen Herrscher - wenn arme Dörfer ihren Zehnten nicht bezahlen können wird gebrannt, vergewaltigt und gemordet. Nach einem Schlüsselerlebnis will der Krieger aussteigen und ein neues friedvolles Leben mit seinem kleinen Sohn beginnen. Doch leider ist das nicht so einfach, und der rachsüchtige Herrscher lässt ihn quer durch Indien bis in den Himalaya verfolgen ...
Der Film ist auf Indisch mit Untertiteln, kommt aber ohne viele Worte aus - Mimik und Gestik der ausdrucksstarken Schauspieler sind wichtiger. Dazu kommen stimmungsvolle sparsam eingesetzte Musik und überwältigende Landschaften und Farben. "The Warrior" strahlt eine fast meditative Ruhe aus und erinnert gleichzeitig vom Stil her an die Western von Sergio Leone - inklusive Showdown, natürlich.
Insgesamt ein großes Stück Kino, das es leider in Deutschland (bis jetzt) nicht auf die Leinwand geschafft hat. Darauf kommen die Bilder natürlich am besten zur Geltung, aber die DVD lohnt sich bestimmt!
