Perceval

Rohmer's extraordinary adaptation of Chrétien de Troyes' 12th-century poem charts the sentimental education of a selfish naïve young knight (Fabrice Luchini) in chivalry, courtship, courage and faith. Shot entirely in the studio with emphatically stylised sets evoking early medieval paintings, the films is unlike any other. A masterpiece. (British Film Institute (BFI))
