«El Oficio de las Armas» is the film by Ermanno Olmi (2001), starring Christo Jivkov, Desislava Tenekedjieva and Sandra Ceccarelli, on DVD.
At the beginning of the 16th century, Giovanni de' Medici, a young captain of the papal army, fights against the Landsknechts of Charles V. Admired for his skill and favoured by fortune, he sees how modern artillery changes war: a cannonball wounds him and gangrene marks his agony, in a tale of conspiracies and a world in transformation.
Historical and war film. The edition includes audio in Italian and Spanish, with Spanish subtitles; it is a PAL Region 2 edition.
For fans of historical and period cinema, especially the Italian Renaissance and 16th-century war stories.
