Perceval le Gallois (1978)
Country: FR
Technical: col/scope 140m
Director: Eric Rohmer
Cast: Fabrice Luchini, André Dussollier, Solange Boulanger
Synopsis:
Direct filming of a medieval romance, also the subject of Wagner's Parsifal.
Review:
Necessarily stylised but increasingly beguiling rendering, fulfilling the cinematic urge of much of the original verse (cross-cutting, repetition, 'slow-motion'). The thoughts on chivalry are less simplistic than the treatment.
