"The Knights of the Coconut" is a 1975 British film comedy directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones. The film tells the absurd story of King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his knights, who experience numerous bizarre adventures in search of the Holy Grail.
The plot of the film is set in medieval England and parodies the legends and myths surrounding King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The knights are in search of the Holy Grail, a mythical chalice that promises them eternal life and infinite wealth. In the process, they encounter all sorts of curious characters, such as the Black Knight, who bravely fights off King Arthur and his men.
The knights themselves are all bizarre characters with unusual characteristics, such as Sir Robin (Eric Idle), who quickly flees in case of danger, or Sir Bedevere (Terry Jones), who turns out to be an expert in burning witches. Together they fight their way through numerous absurd situations, proving their courage and loyalty time and again.
The film captivates with its black humor, grotesque images and overdrawn characters. In particular, actors Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam shine in their roles as knights. The camera work of Terry Bedford supports the surreal atmosphere of the film and makes it a classic of British humor.
