Lancelot of the Lake [Lancelot du lac]

N.p. N.p., Circa 1974. Vintage oversize borderless reference photograph of Robert Bresson on the set of the 1974 film, one of the film's jousting sequences. Jacques Henri Lartigue credit printed on verso.

Bresson’s bloody take on the King Arthur legend was an expansion of the aesthetic he had already developed, where the violence that was once implied became a reality—though certainly still quite surreal.

Shot on location in Noirmoutier-en-L'Ile, France.

11.75 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with some creasing and wear to extremities.

Rosenbaum 1000.
