Maybe cramming the entire Arthurian legend into 2 hours was a bit much, but man, it looks cool as hell.
Acid psych-out ambivalence toward the Arthur-as-Christ backbone of this story. Boorman laments some bygone pagan natural harmony. Almost a Judeo-Christian KWAIDAN by way of Hammer Studios, and brutally violent with an often clumsy physicality (appropriate for 60 pounds of anachronistic plate armor). A brilliant analog phantasmagoria so radiant in its artifice that it not-infrequently verges on camp. Extra cool points for Nicol Williamsons's freaky ADR voice.
The film traces the life of King Arthur from his birth to his unification of Britain, centered around the mystical power and shifting ownership of the legendary sword.
John Boorman directed the film in 1981, known for his unique visual style and other works like Deliverance.
Many genre enthusiasts consider it a definitive Arthurian adaptation due to its dreamlike visual aesthetic and committed ensemble cast. Find Excalibur on Mood.
