Almost all the actors who appear on the stage do not need to show their acting skills or even show any emotion. They are just the director's puppets.
The battle between the knights became a bloody, comical, absurd show. I think, for the director, war is meaningless. Stories like "Knights of the Round Table", in the director's opinion, are just a beautiful fantasy of human beings. At least, this kind of thing won't last long.
Is Cavalier Lansinoh different from other knights? Or should he be more respectable than the other knights in the movie? I don't think so, and I can't even say that he was always loyal to King Arthur because he had an "improper" relationship with King Arthur's wife.
Faced with such an unreasonable world, how should we face it? Bresson apparently believes that women's sweet love and their maternal tenderness are the medicine to save the world. (The wife of King Arthur in the movie and the old woman who saved Lansinore and her little granddaughter are their representatives. {They are also the only emotional characters in the movie}).
I don't know if this is right or not, I just think the French are obviously hopelessly romantic.
