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).
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 GraiI; and the shifting balance of power between wily wizard Merlin (NicoI Williamson) and evil sorceress Morgana (HeIen Mirren). With Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson in notabIe early screen roIes, ExcaIibur serves up, The New Yorker's PauIine Kael wrote, "one lush, enraptured scene after another." |
