Excalibur - Carl Orff & Enigma

Reproducciones: 28.802
En los bosques que rodean el castillo de Tintagel, Uther Pendragon, tras una larga y cruenta guerra, le ruega al mago Merlín que le haga propicia la seducción de la novia de su nuevo aliado, el Duque de Cornwall. Merlín accede a sus deseos, pero con la condición de que el fruto de su lujuria sea para él. Esa misma noche, Arturo es concebido y, dieciocho años después, los nobles de un reino cuyo trono está vacío compiten para hacerse con el derecho de liberar la espada encantada, llamada Excalibur, de la piedra en la que fue incrustada al morir Uther.

Forged by a god. Foretold by a wizard. Found by a King. An epic tale steeped in magic, Excalibur chronicles the life of Arthur beginning with his birth and ending with his climactic battle with his illegitimate son, the evil Mordred. At first, Necromancer Merlin (Nicol Williamson) offers the magic sword Excalibur to the warlike Uther Pendragon (Gabriel Byrne) in exchange for a promise that he'll make peace with his enemy, the duke of Cornwall (Corin Redgrave). He agrees but breaks his word after catching sight of Cornwall's wife, Igraine (Katrine Boorman). With the magician's help he makes love to the woman in the guise of her husband. She bears a child, Arthur, who is taken by Merlin as payment for his assistance and left in the care of Ector (Clive Swift). Years pass, and the boy, now a humble squire, pulls Excalibur from the stone in which Uther had sunk it--a task no other could accomplish. With Merlin's counsel, he marries the stunning Guenevere (Cherie Lunghi), finds a champion in Sir Lancelot (Nicholas Clay), subdues the skirmishing knights, and builds the Round Table to unite them. Yet his half-sister, Morgana (Helen Mirren), lurks in the shadows, preparing to poison her brother's reign.

@LiamNL Wow, not heard of this film? Very epic and not just because of the Carl Orff but more so because of the heavy Wagner pieces. Not to mention its based on le morte d'arthur basically the best version of the story IMO.
