Review of Lancelot of the Lake

A warm welcome back from King Arthur (Vladimir Antolek-Oresek) returning empty handed in his two-year search for the Holy Grail after making a wrong turn somewhere. Mordred(Patrick Bernhard) emerges from the shadows just long enough to remind everyone he said so before he slinks back into his hole. All Queen Guinevere (Laura Duke Condominas) wants to know why Lancelot, her knight, no longer wears her ring.In the beginning, "Lancelot of the Lake" takes an intriguing approach to violence, with the only graphic detail in its opening sequence (if it seems familiar, it should be pointed out that "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" was made the following year), before avoiding it for the rest of the film, which speaks volumes to the worthiness of the knights, considering their bloodshed and pillagi history. This film is set during Arthur's rule's downward slide, as he has no desire to replace any knights that have fallen. Otherwise, the film can be talky, focusing more on relationships, confirming this venerable tale's eternal power.
