one thing about rewatching this after multiple viewings of monty python and the holy grail is that they both merge in my mind and im not sure if a dude is gonna show up clapping with coconuts or if lancelot is gonna say ‘tis but a fleshwound when arthur duels him. but it’s alright, i can tell them apart (sometimes). this adds a good measure of ironic detachment and contributes to the enjoyment.
the loud-ass soundtrack is a match to the nearly absurd declamatory acting style of this film, and it’s awesome. i think this movie was the first time i heard carmina burana.
it’s all very loud and grandiose. tons of clatter. |
I liked this too.
This is the one with Patrick Stewart, right?
