Komedia przygodowa w stylu MTV, zainspirowana przez "Opowieści kanterberyjskie". Młody giermek William jest mistrzem rycerskich potyczek. Kiedy umiera jego pan, william wraz z towarzyszami - Rolandem i Watem - wyrusza w drogę, na której spotyka nieznanego nikomu pisarza Chaucera. Ten deklaruje swą pomoc w sfałszowaniu dokumentów, które pozwolą Williamowi jako rycerzowi brać udział w turniejach. Średniowieczna akcja przy dźwiękach "We Will Rock You" Queen - tego jeszcze nie było.
Theres no rule against rock anthems from the 1970s in the soundtrack for a movie about a medieval jousting champion, but if youre going to attempt such jarring anachronisms, youd better establish acceptable ground rules. Writer-director Brian Helgeland does precisely that in A Knights Tale and pulls off this trick with such giddy aplomb that you cant help but play along. Upon witnessing a crowd of peasants at a jousting match, singing and clapping to the beat of Queens "We Will Rock You", youre either going to love this movie or dismiss it altogether. Other vintage rock hits will follow, but Helgeland--the Oscar-winning co-writer of LA Confidential --handles this ploy with judicious goodwill, in what is an otherwise honest period piece about a peasant named William (Heath Ledger) who rises by grit and determination to the hallowed status of knighthood. As if the soundtrack werent audacious enough, Helgeland (recovering from the sour experience of his directorial debut, Payback ) casts none other than Geoffrey Chaucer (wonderfully played by Paul Bettany) as Williams cohort and match announcer, along with Williams pals Roland (Mark Addy) and Wat (Alan Tudyk), and feisty blacksmith Kate (Laura Fraser). Of course there must be a fair maiden, and she is Jocelyn (newcomer Shannyn Sossamon), with whom William falls in love while battling the nefarious Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell) on the European jousting circuit. Add to this an inspiring father-son reunion, Ledgers undeniable charisma, a perfect supporting cast, and enough joyful energy to rejuvenate the films formulaic plot, and A Knights Tale becomes that most pleasant of movie surprises--an unlikely winner that rises up, like its hero, to exceed all expectations. -- Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com On the DVD: From "The Rock Music Scene in 1370" to "You Never Know What Youll Find in a Czech Prop House", this disc doesnt scrimp on the special features. Offering a wealth of information regarding the making of this $41million film, from the jousting (which many of the actors actually performed) to justification for the rock soundtrack and Audrey Hepburn-esque dresses in Medieval Europe. Along with these mini-documentaries, (most lasting for only five minutes) theres a mini interview with the new heartthrob of Hollywood, Heath Ledger and a great selection of deleted scenes. The commentary--by director Brian Helgeland and Paul Bettany (who plays Chaucer in the film)--is a lively and enjoyable romp that makes it clear that the cast and crew bonded on set. The disc comes with a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack to improve the "raucous rock" and an anamorphic 2.35:1 aspect ratio to bring the "modernised medieval mood" to life. -- Nikki Disney
A KNIGHTS TALE is the rousing story of lowborn William Thatchers (Ledger) quest to change his stars, win the heart of an exceedingly fair maiden (Shannyn Sossamon) and rock his medieval world. Follow this fearless squire and his band of medieval misfits as they careen their way toward impossible glory thats part romance, part road trip and part exuberant swashbuckler.
