When a lavishly (for the time) budgeted adaptation of Sir Thomas Malory's La Morte d'Arthur hit cinemas in 1981, likely the last thing audiences expected was a film as odd and brutal as John Boorman's Excalibur. It ultimately grossed more than three times its budget, despite mixed reviews from top critics of the time like Roger Ebert and Pauline Kael, who, even in their relatively negative reviews, praised the film's visual richness.
