Master filmmaker Robert Bresson turns his unique artistic style on the middle ages in this beautifully melancholy film.
When a group of King Arthur's knights are eluded in their search for the Holy Grail, they are revealed to be anything but noble and heroic. The greedy, conniving and bitter knights focus their frustrations on the budding romance between Lancelot and Guinevere, with their anger ultimately leading to tragedy. Bresson's minimalist directorial style lays bare the Arthurian tale, shining a glaring spotlight on the characters' cruelty, pride, and aching need for human affection.
Winner of the FIPRESCI prize at the Cannes Film festival, this dark, humanistic drama is a million miles from Camelot?
