"...I want to know who loved it too, and why. "I really liked this episode.
The word "haunting" comes to mind.
When the lights went out, our characters were thrown out of their normal lives and under cover of darkness given a chance to be anyone they wanted to be (at least this can be said of the children of the the King). Remember the Princess said something about the darkness being like a blanket over the city? The Prince and Princess were sheltered by this blanket of darkness - to be, just for a moment, the people they wised they could always be. They were briefly released from the demons that normally haunted them.This sheltering quality of the darkness was "overshadowed", if not counterbalanced, by the haunting of the King; stalked by spirits as well as flesh and blood enemies.I don't remember much about Fellini's work, can't cite a specific film (possibly Juliet of the Spirits?), in which the characters chatter on and on into the night filled with mysticism. Maybe I'm way off here (I'm no film aficionado) - seems like some of his films had his characters moving thru a sort of nuovo-classic musical composition; a "concert" that seems wildly out of tune and yet brings all its parts together into an oddly pleasing harmony. Oh well, that's my attempt to explain why I like The Sabbath Queen.   See 13 other replies
