Back to the Middle Ages with a vengeance! But do not expect "les visiteurs du soir"!Do not expect a good old swashbuckler either.This must be one of the poorest offerings of the early years of the twenty-first century French cinema.

Plot:the pope has lost his favorite poet and he will highly reward the one who brings the fugitive back.Good and bad knights are looking for him.Auteuil,whose behavior does not make any sense -at least to my eyes-is one of them,flanked by his squire and ,from time to time ,by a nun.Now and then,another companion is shouting (and I mean shouting) and I sincerely do not know the reason why.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
