Why watch this film?
The central narrative of 'The Obscure Life of the Grand Duke of Corsica' is interwoven with scenes of 13th-century monks and lepers, while a subplot about the Maltese authorities' efforts to control a malaria outbreak suggests the script was being rewritten as the pandemic unfolded. A sober, elegant, and funny movie.
