## Description

Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: This Australian fantasy stars Hamish McFarlane as a young 14th Century boy with acute psychic powers. During the period of the Black Death, Hamish believes that he can rescue his fellow villagers by leading them into an abandoned mine. The fugitives tunnel their way through the darkness and emerge on the other side--into a bustling New Zealand metropolis in the year 1988. The phenomenon is seen from the point of view of the &apos;aliens,&apos; to whom every modern convenience and invention is a miracle comparable to the Resurrection. The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey successfully creates and sustains its own logic, framing the story in the linear form of an ancient legend, and never treating the bedazzled time-travellers in a condescending manner. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Australian Film Institute, Cannes Film Festival, Fantasporto Awards, ...The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey ( The Navigator ) ( The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey )

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant, unusual film
  

*by D***W on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2013*

Profoundly moving story and original drama about crossing not only time zones but values and perspectives. I can recommend it to anyone who likes a film with heart rather than pace.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    More admirable than engaging
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2006*

Vincent Ward is one of those directors who make films that are easier to admire than to enjoy. The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey is an excellent example - striking visuals, harsh landscapes, painful accents that make key plot points incomprehensible and a big idea that doesn't work quite as well as you'd like it to. Kicking off in a harsh black and white Cumbria in the early 14th century, an isolated village is persuaded by a boy's visions that the only way to keep the plague out of their village is to tunnel to the other side of the world and erect a cross on the great church tower before dawn - only to find themselves in God's city (or New Zealand circa 1988 to us), a world of colour and lights crippled by its own plagues, redundancy, nuclear proliferation and AIDS. Blinded by television and information overload, the boy loses his ability to see beyond the knowledge that one of them will die in the attempt... There are a lot of pluses, not least the great faces in the cast, many of which look like they've literally stepped out of a Renaissance painting, but it never really engages as much as you'd like, leaving you an almost disinterested observer.The Australian DVD is much better than the shoddy NTSC release, boasting a superb anamorphic widescreen transfer, trailer and trailers for Ward's Vigil and What Dreams May Come.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Interesting 80s time travel film from NZ
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019*

I saw this back when it came out.  It's a neat little independent film; not a lot of bang and flash, but a thoughtful fantasy adventure.  A smart film that's well worth a watch.
