The Pagan Queen is a 2009 fantasy drama film directed by German director Constantin Werner. The film combines realism with fantasy elements and is based on the legend of Libuše , the Czech tribal queen of 8th century Bohemia who envisioned the city of Prague and founded the first Czech dynasty with a farmer called Přemysl, the Ploughman .
Sep 7, 2010 · The Pagan Queen is devoid of medieval Christian moral commentary. The women in this movie are strong. They are queens, priestesses, healers, and warriors in control of their bodies and their destinies. It is a movie that marks a transition from a pagan matriarchy to modern patriarchy. By the time it wraps up, magic is just the stuff of legends.
This is a mythic tale combining legend and history, but above all it is a human drama. The Pagan Queen of the title is reputedly half Tree-elf and half human (there's a lovely myth about the girl's mother integral to the story), and her two sisters aren't fully human either, but the story doesn't directly revolve around their dual (magical or mythical) natures.
