Lancelot of the Lake (1974)

Robert Bresson's austere 1974 retelling of the Arthurian legend strips away the pageantry typically tied to the Camelot myth. It focuses instead on guilt and decay after the failed quest for the Holy Grail. The film's spare, ritualistic style extends even to its intimacy. Laura Duke Condominas appears in a scene that lays bare the tangled affair at the story's core. The archive holds just 1 scene from the production. It's a brief but telling glimpse of nudity within Bresson's famously controlled frame.
