So, God Wills It So is a fascinating piece from '78 that really invites you into its bleak atmosphere. The narrative centers around a crusader lost in the unforgiving desert, which immediately sets a tone of despair and reflection. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to sit with the protagonist’s thoughts about violence and morality, particularly the aftermath of his actions - pillaging villages and the four women who followed him for whatever scraps remained. The practical effects are minimal, but they work in favor of the film’s gritty realism. The performances carry a weight that feels quite raw, giving it an edge that lingers long after viewing. It might not be a film you hear about often, but it surely has its own unique resonance.
The film has had limited releases over the years, with early VHS copies becoming increasingly scarce. Collectors tend to appreciate its thematic depth, focusing on moral ambiguity and the psychological impact of war. There isn’t much merchandise or memorabilia available, which adds to its allure, making it a sought-after piece for those interested in rare drama films from that era.
