50 years before Kaamelott 2… here is the “funniest movie in the history of cinema”! Rated 4.1 out of 5, this is the best movie about the legend of King Arthur

The legend of King Arthur with the Knights of the Round Table, his epic quests and the mythical Grail has continued to fascinate throughout the ages. Between medieval myths and modern adaptations, this universal story has inspired many stories, novels and films.

With Camelot – Part Two, Alexandre Astier takes a unique look at this legend with humor, cynicism and a contemporary twist. With a cast of loyal actors after the series, but also new faces, he continues to keep the legend alive.

The highest rated movie is…

Kaamelott is neither the first nor the only film to revisit the legend of King Arthur. Before Alexander Astier, it’s Monty Python: The Holy Grail! who left his mark.

This crazy British comedy, made in 1975 by director Terry Gilliam, has become a cult, mixing absurd humor and medieval references with a unique gag sense. With his quirky and crazy British humor, Gilliam makes the legend an excuse for gags as memorable as the mythical quest for the Grail, and appears on almost every list of the greatest films of all time.

Constructed as a series of sketches related to the quest for the Grail, the film plays with the codes of film and television, while transforming the legend into a hilarious satire.

With over 23,000 ratings and nearly 461 reviews on AlloCiné, it has a rating of 4.1 out of 5, making it the highest-rated film on the Arthurian legend to date.

Viewers’ opinions

Classiest man in the world (5/5): “The funniest movie in the history of cinema? I answer without hesitation: yes!!! They say you should laugh 20 minutes a day. If you watch the Sacré Grail, you will be protected from laughter for 4 and a half days! Every scene is iconic, every dialogue is funny! The film does not take itself seriously even for a second! This ability to utter nonsense while maintaining a genial British composure is genius. Why doesn’t Monty Python exist anymore? why

Redzing from Club Allociné (5/5): “The Knights of the Round Table’s quest for the Holy Grail, seen by Monty Python. A gem of British comedy, this festival of absurdist humor and outlandish stunts is full of great finds. Whether it’s a production that combines faithful medieval reconstructions and grand illusions, elaborate lines, (short) funny songs or excessively bloody passages, everything is inspired and extremely funny. The Monty Python gang has a series of sketches where everyone plays different characters, regularly gets incredible accents and makes plenty of fun of the knights who are often taken too seriously. Essential to English comedy.”

Julien D from Club Allociné (5/5): “The apotheosis of nonsensical comedy can only come to us from Monty Python – not all of whose films are so good – thanks to the alternative recovery of the Arthurian legends and the Crusades. This perfectly lubricated sequence of burlesque gags, many of which have become iconic, will clearly appreciate this humorous moment for those who give pleasure to others. Humor to amuse their own Detractors, this film is also proof that large resources are not necessary to create a masterpiece that will remain forever in the history of cinema.

Kibruk (5/5): “I love the absurd humor of Monty Python, who left a unique and never equaled mark on the cinema. It is a pity that they did not make more films. That is why I watch them every few years and I always find with joy the avalanche of mudslides. They show a perfect knowledge of the Arthurian cycle and the books of Chrétien de Troyes: we find all the ingredients: love of courtesy, knightly courage and numerous references On the adventures of Lancelot du Lac or Perceval Wells.

NameofZeus (5/5) : “In this masterpiece of comedy, Monty Python tackles the Arthurian legend with absurd humor. And the result is funny to say the least. The Holy Grail is a gem of comics where every grunt falls with unfailing precision. It’s no accident that many of them have become cult, black, black night cult. Swallow Africans…).
