LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA: Excalibur (1981)
Directed by John Boorman Rated R
The land needs a king… Arthur will pull his father’s sword from the stone, fight battles, and learn kingly wisdom from Merlin. But can he defend his Queen’s honor? Sir Thomas Malory’s masterpiece is not so much adapted as it is transformed in this lush, green, lyrical film from the mad Boorman. Acclaimed thespian Nicol Williamson is joined by young British actors Liam Neeson, Helen Mirren, Gabriel Byrne and Patrick Stewart in a Dark Age period piece told out of time.
