The Age of Uprising

The Age of Uprising: The legend of Michael Kohlhaas is a period piece set in the 16th Century as the feudal system is declining and civil law and religious reform are sweeping Europe.  Wronged by a local baron, successful horse-breeder and trader, Kohlhaas, seeks revenge with an outlaw band that sometimes goes to far.  Mads Mikkelsen [one of the busiest actors working today] portrays Kohlhaas as principled and honorable. Based on a German Romanticist novel by poet, philosopher, dramatist and novelist Bernd Heinrich Wilhelm von Kleist (18 October 1777 – 21 November 1811), this epic period piece will please most.
