Fun fact: The 1974 movie’s English title is still Lancelot du Lac, not “of the Lake”. “du Lac” is a title assigned to the character of Lancelot in English language works, first appearing in de Troyes, and retained by most English romances, almost like a family name (which is confusing, because while Lancelot is indeed some guy from a lake, there was another character in a de Troyes romance who also is the son of King Lac. King Lac is unrelated to Lancelot.)

It’s the only Bresson I’ve seen.
