Lancelot of the Lake

Dazzlingly severe and beautiful.

The whole film is shot in compellingly austere colors and a rapt gaze sweeping downward from the sky and ending, horrifyingly fixed on armored bodies lying in the mud.

It's stunningly beautiful, mesmerising, exhausting, uplifting, amazing -- all the things you could possibly expect from a masterpiece.

... one of the most individual, unique portrayals of the Middle Ages put to film.
