A stylized, theatrical adaptation of medieval legend that prioritizes philosophical inquiry and formal artifice over narrative momentum, blending Arthurian romance with spiritual questioning.
The film chronicles Perceval's knighthood, maturation and eventual peerage amongst the Knights of the Round Table, and also contains brief episodes from the story of Gawain and the crucifixion of Christ.
