Synopsis
Inspired by Chrétien de Troyes's 12th century Arthurian romance "Perceval, the Story of the Grail", the film chronicles Perceval's knighthood and maturation amongst the Knights of the Round Table. Unlike other screen adaptations of Arthurian legend, the film makes no attempt at situating the characters in a natural world. Instead, Perceval and his cohorts inhabit a colorful theatrical realm replete with rudimentary prop, stylized backdrops and a singing chorus that participates in the drama. At many points, characters narrate their own actions with rhyming couplets taken directly from the original text.
