I could yammer on about the great quotes in this film, and they are legion, but it is much more than that.  Drink in the editing and beautiful cinematography, accomplished on a relative shoestring.  A strange film that immerses you in the 9th century and beats you over the head with the 20th century.  Brilliant throughout, mostly.  Not recommended for lagophobes but a hearty romp for all others.  OK, a few quotes.  "Not the curtains!" and ummm...."I'm not old...I'm thirty-seven..".  I'd include more quotes but I'd probably die while carving them.
