The Holy Land of Tyrol (2010)
It is spring 1809. KatharinaÂ’s Tyrolean husband, Franz, is arguing with a French soldier in AugsburgÂ’s marketplace. It ends with the soldier dead by accident and the young couple fleeing the city for FranzÂ’s homeland.

Even on the way it's obvious that the mood in the Alpine land is at breaking point. Bavaria and France, which have occupied the Tyrol for years, are despised, which doesn't guarantee the Bavarian Katharina the warmest of welcomes. She soon misses the warmth and comfort of her family in Augsburg. After so many years away from home, Franz is quickly caught up in the enthusiasm of the independence movement around Andreas Hofer. He calls the Tyrolean farmers to rise up. Before long, Franz marches with his younger brother off to war, leaving Katharina at home.

Reliant for the first time only on herself, Katharina undergoes hard times until, finally, she masters the tasks at hands and wins the villagersÂ’ respect.

Against all the odds, the Tyroleans return victorious from their battles. The villagers celebrate. Only Katharina and the village priest recognise that although the night belongs to them, a lasting victory is impossible. Forced to make a decision, Katharina decides to render Franz unfit for battle. But he discovers her plan, their relationship shatters and Katharina is expelled from the farm.

    The Tyrolian Uprising
    I am visiting Austria and so decided to watch some films set here. Bergblut tells the tale of the Tyrolian uprising, along with an extended treatment of Tyrolian-Bavarian relations, of which I was frankly ignorant. The settings are beautiful and the conflict between the Tyrolians and the Bavarians and the French is convincingly portrayed. One thing I never understood was the character of Katharina. Her behavior struck me as bizarre, from her decision to live in the sticks with her new husband, Franz, a country bumpkin she met in Bavaria, to her willingness to stay with the horrible mother-in-law through thick and thin. But the most unbelievable of all was her over-the-top quest to prevent Franz from redeploying again.

    Over all, I feel that I learned something from this film, which was beautifully photographed and decently acted.
