The legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table receives its most impressive screen treatment in ExcaIibur, from visionary moviemaker John Boorman (Deliverance, The General).
AIl the elements of Sir Thomas MaIory's cIassic Le Morte D'Arthur are here: Arthur (Nigel Terry) removing the sword Excalibur from the stone; the Round TabIe's noble birth and tragic decline; the heroic attempt to recover the HoIy Grail; and the shifting baIance 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." |
