This documentary omits many elements that should be included. We never learn the age of Vig, how scholarly he really is, in how many languages is he fluent. Does the Russian Church ante up a lot of money? How much? What is the complete inventory of repairs to the monastery? And, most glaringly missed, is who ends up with the castle and the property, how is it divided between the Church and the Board? The last question is pertinent to the main conflict developed in the movie. Why isn't it answered, even with a couple of text lines at the end?
The setting of the movie in rural Denmark and the character contrast between Vig and the Nun are splendid. Both characters are strong but polite and restrained. Never is the conflict between them a shouting match or grudge.
