Excalibur (1981) Deep Dive

from Vintage Cinema Rewind · host vintagecinemarewind

The centre truly cannot hold on Vintage Cinema Rewind. This week, the boys are back with their Deep Dive on John Boorman’s beautiful mess: Excalibur! Blake has discovered his wife’s adultery and has since renounced the mystical sword. As a result, both he and the realm are withering. He dispatches his Knights of the Roundtable to uncover the only thing that can restore them: the Holy Grail. But as his best warriors prowl the haunted lands, a new threat rises in the form of his own illegitimate son, Mordred. Can he rally his remaining knights for one final charge? Or is all of Britannia doomed?

This time we're making a run of film reviews. Now, we're not sticking to the rules of talking only about what is popular or hot in the cinema. We have a responsabilty to find all kinds of films, especially those that may be slipping through the gaps, or movies that we loved that nobody seems to remember. So from old to the new, from the bizarre and the downright bad. We're going to sit through all that we can, and on a weekly basis, you can listen to our banter: coming from not only film fanatics, but lovers of the craft.
