...authors rightly approach the castle as the center of medieval life. Their story ranges well beyond the castle gate, but it centers on Chepstow, a well-preserved fortress on the Welsh border not far from Bristol. The 12th century lord of Chepstow, William Marshal, turns up with a companion knight on the tournament circuit in France. Touring the country like early-day golf pros, they clean up handsomely, accumulating scores and scores of horses and piles of armor in more than 100 contests...

Which is fine and presented so pleasingly that the movie is worth it. But Bunuel is idiosyncratic as ever, and there are no Theones of history here. One misses his stories, his Tristanas, when life can float by all at once, the great...
