In this episode of The Holy Moment, we dive deep into John Boorman’s 1981 fantasy epic Excalibur. From its hauntingly dreamlike cinematography to the raw, Shakespearean performances, this is not your average King Arthur movie. Jeffrey breaks down his holy moment—how the film’s painterly visuals evoke a surreal, almost mythic beauty, elevating the tragedy at its core.
We explore how Excalibur influenced future fantasy films like The Lord of the Rings and why it still stands as a cult classic. Whether you're into Arthurian legend, stylized medieval action, or movies that feel like moving artwork, this is a conversation for you.
🎙️ Tune in and help us find the holy moment in every movie
