"The Three Kings" tells the story of the three kings visiting the birth of Jesus, but the film does not glorify this story. Instead, it uses a very flat approach to describe the kings as merely ordinary people. Most of the time is spent depicting their hardships in searching for the birthplace of Jesus and the difficulties they encounter, with the greatest challenge being getting lost in the mountains and forests. In recent years, among many new star directors, Spanish Catalan director Albert Serra is quite controversial. His films are so minimalist that they can even be described as rudimentary. While many people highly praise them (for example, the French "Film Notes" once ranked his previous film "Honour of the Knights" [2006] as the seventh best film of 2007), others question whether he is merely taking advantage of the current trend of slow-paced long shots in art films to create works that are akin to the emperor's new clothes.
