The Death of Robin Hood

A battle-scarred Robin Hood is mortally wounded after what should have been his final fight. As he balances on the border between life and death, he is cared for by a mysterious woman. She confronts him with the man he has become, the man he once was, and offers him an unexpected chance at redemption. But to seize that chance, he will have to let go of his legend and pay the price for a life full of violence.\n\nSpecifically for Cinema ZED Leuven Koop a ticket with your ZED student card and bring a free +1 along to The Death of Robin Hood!\n\nCommentaar Verwacht here offers no heroic adventures or the epic origin story of a hero. Regisseur Michael Sarnoski (who made the fantastic Pig a few years ago) is not interested in the myth surrounding the character Robin Hood. What you get instead is a raw, dark character study of the complicated human behind the outlaw, who is forced to reflect on a life full of violence and inflicted pain. Think: more The Northman than Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Hugh Jackman is in any case rock-solid as this bitter, elderly version of the character, and is accompanied by a stellar cast, led by Jodie Comer (The Last Duel) and Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu, IT).\n\nPress\n\n''Vergeet de Robin Hood as you have always known him. In 'The Death of Robin Hood', director Michael Sarnoski ('Pig') goes in search of an authentic version of the famous character. And it looks a lot less heroic.'' - De Tijd
