Lancelot du Lac - Bresson (France, 1974, 1h 25m)
Details
“This is the Arthurian legend stripped bare, spotlighting the characters’ cruelty, pride, and the aching need for human affection … It’s stunningly beautiful, mesmerising, exhausting, uplifting, amazing — all the things you could possibly expect from a masterpiece.”
—Time Out
Bresson brings his signature minimalism to the Arthurian legend, stripping away the spectacle of the Grail quest as he turns his eye toward the torment of the knights as they return “without the Grail, which is to say the absolute, God” (Bresson). New 4K restoration.
Featuring a post-film discussion and a pop-up shop on April 19. This film’s book pairing, Notes on the Cinematograph by Robert Bresson, is available for purchase at Alienated Majesty Books, in-person or online.
