  • Bazat pe: Arthurian romance

Lancelot du Lac is a 1974 medieval fantasy-drama film written and directed by Robert Bresson. It retells the story of Lancelot and Guinevere's love as Camelot and the Round Table fall apart. It is based on Arthurian legend and medieval romances, especially the Lancelot-Grail cycle, and the works of Chrétien de Troyes.

Production

Bresson had been planning a film of the grail legend for a long period. His original choice to play Guinevere twenty years previously had been the artist Niki de Saint Phalle, the mother of Laura Duke Condominas, but the project had been delayed again and again.

The 1996 issue of Positif reports that in 1964 Bresson wrote to George Cukor, saying he would like to make the film in English, with Natalie Wood and Burt Lancaster.

The film was shot from the end of June 1973 to the start of September 1973 in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île in the Vendée.
