Not the easiest entryway into Bresson's work. So abstract/high-brow/whatever, that, yes, it totally verges on the ridiculous. And the Bressonian emotionless acting style fits well in but wouldn't be much help for the neophyte either.xianjiro
There wasn't quite enough clanking of armour for my taste - so little clanking made it almost impossible for me to believe these were actual 'kaniggets'.weirdboy
If I hear that canned horse whinny one more time, I'm going to sue Bresson's estate for mental anguish.Windill
Bresson is my favorite filmmaker, but I must say I was disappointing by this one. The photography is ugly and ridiculous. The acting by non-professional "models" didn't work, this time.Ray Anselmo
Looking through the comments, we've covered Bresson's "Vulcan" directing of actors, the clanking armor, the canned horse whinny, the hoof fetishism ... but allow me to add the truly maladroit camera choices (especially in the jousting scenes - you see more horse butts than actual contact) the anachronistic plate armor and the conversations between Lancelot and Guinevere that couldn't be more stilted if they were performed on actual stilts. I'm left wondering a) if there's any reason for this being considered a classic besides Bresson's name on it, and b) whether the absurdity of this film was any inspiration for next year's Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 3.5/10Shingwauk
I'm sorry to say that it was cardboard acting with emotionless monotone voicing.jlfitz
