Game of Swords

A historical thriller starring Christopher Lambert  and Brian Blessed. The director, Adrian Rudomin, cared passionately about the story of his film which explores anti-Semitism during the Spanish Inquistion.

Set in 16th Century Spain, Christopher Lambert (Highlander, Legend of Greystoke) plays Ruy, the sheriff in a small town trying to discover the perpetrator of a series of gruesome and mysterious murders. In doing so he uncovers a much deeper and darker conspiracy, in which he himself is unwittingly involved.

Influences on the score included music of the Spanish Renaissance, as well as early Jewish music… And Adrian also really liked big drums, so we used a lot of those! We went to Prague to record the score with a large orchestra and choir.
