A Walk with Love and Death (1969)

Directed by John Huston
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Lyrical film of young man who leaves a war-ravaged village to walk to the sea. Along the way, he meets and falls in love with Anjelica Huston. Their idyllic love is contrasted to the cruelty of war. A simple yet compelling film with authentic medieval atmosphere and music. There is an obvious parallel to the "make love not war" peace movement of the late 60s.
