Description

The Holy Grail, the cup from the Last Supper, is among Christianity's most sacred relics.

Down through the ages, the quest to find that vessel has down been the inspiration for many intent upon harnessing the power of the Grail for their own purposes. In this first collection of essays to study the long film tradition depicting that quest, seventeen film scholars and cultural critics from Canada, France, Great Britain, and the United States discuss a wide range of American and European films which present a rich assortment of medieval and latter-day Grail knights. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Fisher King, The Da Vinci Code, The Waterboy, The Road Warrior, The Silver Chalice, Excalibur, and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead are just a few of the many films discussed here.
