Lancelot du Lac (1974) by Robert Bresson,Clip:A riderless horse continually reenacts the same circle

Non-monetized channel. | Contact: [e-mail]
The Image: I find the riderless horse (Lancelot's I think) continually reenacting the same circuit - theaestheticof... - as though on a loop - is certainly the stuff of dreams, my dreams anyway. Again and again it appears as if doomed by some ancient Greek myth to gallop endlessly the same moment in history, the same terrain, the same loss.
And yet somehow the forest seems so green, enchanted - theaestheticof... - (reminds me of a Rupert the Bear story I read as a kid!)
And of course, the rest too - that pile of steel and bodies - theaestheticof... - and the vulture circling remorselessly in the sky. (theaestheticof...)
All is lost. All are lost.
(Yet the surprisingly sentimental (?) 'Hollywood' ending in which Lancelot dies and falls whispering 'Guinevere' - I wasn't quite expecting that all things considered.)
(Also this - my first clip of this movie from two years ago: • Lancelot du Lac [Lance... )

I'm majoring in fine art, but your videos inspire me a lot. Thank you.

I remembered that last, falling armor-clad figure, consigned to the gory muck of battle. The horses' plight is, for me, even more heartbreaking, with the riderless running one caught in a kind of existential purgatory. These clips have aroused curiosity to revisit this Bresson effort, after decades of my sole previous encounter through that ill-fated repertory screening.

This was my second viewing. I really, really loved it the second time around and have come up with all sorts of lame theories based on seeing it again. It is amazing how Bresson percolates in the mind long after the film has actually finished, especially this clip with the endlessly (in my imagination!) running horse...
