My Order

In his epic, dark, medieval John Boorman fantasy Merlin the magician helps Arthur Pendragon unite the Britons around the Round Table of Camelot, even as dark forces conspire to tear it apart. The ultimate film of the Arthurian legend directed, co-written and produced by Boorman, and filled with leading lights of stage and screen, including Helen Mirren as Morgana, Arthur's evil half-sister who may prove to be his downfall. 

An EP Recommends screening suggested by EP volunteer Chris McKenna,  with introduction by Chris Gidlow, historian and novelist specialising in Arthurian myth and legend.
