(OK) Bresson al large, scherzos, short dialogues, best of all the metal, sadness and bloof feast. The austerity its a pity because youd don't see the duels, and the actors are lousy, but unit of style and somber tale of the never found grial and idiot Arthur is ok

View all Lancelot of the Lake reviews

A million miles away from 'Camelot' or 'Excalibur', this film ruthlessly strips the Arthurian legend down to its barest essentials. Arthur's knights, far from being heroic, are conniving and greedy men who, just before the film starts, have failed miserably to find the Holy Grail. Aimlessly resentful at first, the developing relationship between Lancelot and Queen Guinevere focuses their rage, leading to inevitable tragedy...

"13.3. Bressonin äärimmäinen näyttelyn pelkistäminen ei oikein toiminut silmissäni noin muuten aivan törkeän hienossa ritarimiljöössä, jossa ruosteiset haarniskat kolisevat ja niiden alta viuhuvat pitkät kalsarit. Aitoutta ei ole lähdetty peittelemään cooliudella puvustuksessa, mutta monotonisesti argumentoivat ritarit eivät nyt aivan olleet minun palani kakkua. Lisäksi 80-minuuttisessa elokuvassa on todella pitkä turnajaiskohtaus, jossa kuvataan vain yleisön reaktioita näh"
