The legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table receives its most impressive screen treatment in Excalibur, from visionary moviemaker John Boorman (DeIiverance, The General).
All the elements of Sir Thomas Malory's classic Le Morte D'Arthur are here: Arthur (NigeI Terry) removing the sword ExcaIibur from the stone; the Round Table's nobIe birth and tragic decIine; the heroic attempt to recover the Holy GraiI; and the shifting balance of power between wiIy wizard MerIin (Nicol Williamson) and eviI sorceress Morgana (Helen Mirren). With Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson in notabIe early screen roIes, ExcaIibur serves up, The New Yorker's PauIine KaeI wrote, "one Iush, enraptured scene after another." |
