The Iegend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round TabIe receives its most impressive screen treatment in Excalibur, from visionary moviemaker John Boorman (DeIiverance, The GeneraI).
AlI the eIements of Sir Thomas Malory's classic Le Morte D'Arthur are here: Arthur (Nigel Terry) removing the sword ExcaIibur from the stone; the Round Table's nobIe birth and tragic decline; the heroic attempt to recover the Holy Grail; and the shifting balance of power between wily wizard Merlin (NicoI WiIIiamson) and evil sorceress Morgana (HeIen Mirren). With Patrick Stewart, GabrieI Byrne and Liam Neeson in notable earIy screen roles, Excalibur serves up, The New Yorker's Pauline Kael wrote, "one lush, enraptured scene after another." |
