La vallée: screencaps II
Jul. 6th, 1972 07:40 pm
They arrive at the airstrip where Viviane, once more clad in business attire, is to catch her plane back to the City.
While – true to his practical role on the expedition – Olivier works on the jeep, Gaetan admires a picture Viviane
is painting on the side, of a dragon, with the word "joie." He tries to goad her into staying with them on their
journey, expounding his opinions on dragons, demons and the life force, and telling the child he is holding that
Viviane "won't see the light." He tells Olivier that it's a shame Viviane is leaving them. Olivier's response is an
economical "Oui."
Similarly, when the plane arrives, Gaetan says that Viviane is giving them good vibrations; Oliver simply says
"I'll get your things." He walks her to the plane, and kisses her goodbye.

Bulle Ogier's Viviane haggles with the proprietor of a shop that sells local artefacts and crafts to tourists. She's
buying things to sell in her shop in Paris. What she really wants is rare feathers, but the shopkeeper says they're
very hard to get, and won't arrive for another two weeks – by which time Viviane will have had to to leave.
While Viviane examines a dagger, a handsome stranger, Michael Gothard's Olivier, appears in the shop. He wants
to earn some pocket money by selling a few things – including feathers – to the shopkeeper, so that he doesn't
use up his expedition's money. The shopkeeper quickly snaps them up at the price Oliver asks for them.
Viviane realises what's going on, and immediately tries to buy the feathers; the shopkeeper asks for double the
price he agreed to pay Olivier.
In her annoyance and confusion, Viviane drops the dagger on Olivier's foot.

This first episode of "Arthur of the Britons" sets the tone for the whole series. Arthur (Oliver Tobias) is introduced as a serious-minded, cool and cunning leader, who nevertheless manages to find time for fun. Kai (Michael Gothard) is his trusted lieutenant, friend and foster-brother. Kai is a bit of a firebrand, who has his own ideas about how things should be done, but is ready to back any plan Arthur comes up with, and help him carry it through. Kai is the one on whom Arthur relies, both in battle, and when he needs to relax and forget his troubles for a while.
The bulk of this pilot episode was filmed in May or June 1972, while the horse-racing scenes were filmed in autumn of that year.
Arthur (Oliver Tobias), leader of a tribe of Celts, and Kai, prepare for a race with some other Celts.

The Baron de Laubardemont warns Father Barré that they could become a laughing stock; Father Barré in turn warns Sister Jeanne of the danger to her immortal soul, should she persist in her corrupt ways.

Jan. 28th, 1971 12:00 pmThis film is set during the Thirty Years War. It looks at what people will tolerate, what compromises they will make, and what they are prepared to do, to preserve their way of life.
Omar Sharif stars, as Vogel, and Michael Caine as a man known only as “The Captain.” This Captain heads a ruthless troop of mercenaries, of which Hansen, played by Michael Gothard, is a member. During the complex mish-mash of wars that rages throughout Europe, causing devastation to the populace, often with religion as the reason or the excuse, this band of killers offers its services to the highest bidder, or to whichever side is winning.
Near the start of the film, we see the mercenaries looting a poor and muddy village, and terrorising the occupants. Here, Hansen enthusiastically uses a pitchfork to kill a villager, and is about to slaughter an ox with his axe.
