If you’re a fan of Brian Helgeland, Paul Bettany (Chaucer), or fair commentary tracks in general, don’t hold the extended edition. The regular DVD has every feature the “extended” edition does – it objective doesn’t insert the deleted scenes into the movie. They’re included as bonus features. This extended edition does not include the hilarious and insightful commentary track by Helgeland and Bettany, which is really the best thing about the DVD. You net more features for less money by buying the regular DVD release.
Apparently audiences couldn’t quite figure out A Knight’s Narrative when it had its theatrical release last year. This was in all likelihood due to the combination of rock music in mature times clashing with our knowledge of history and our pleasing sensibilities. However, having both seen this at the cinema and owning it on DVD, I would like to hope that this movie will be given a second chance to rep recent viewers as it really is a pleasurable film and big fun!
Heath Ledger (The Patriot) displaying astronomical charm and a winning smile throughout, plays William Thatcher, squire to a washed up champion jouster, who dies during a competition, leaving William to masquerade as his master in order to come by their winnings. Aided by his initially less than enthusiatic pals Roland (Sign Addy from Paunchy Monty) and Wat (Alan Tudyk, 28 Days) William fakes nobility to illegally enter competitions. On their travels they encounter a naked wanderer, the future noted author, Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) who joins their `crusade’ and helps to forge William’s ancestral lineage, so that he can hold piece in the noblemen only games. Whilst competing (according to my wife who seems to like every Australian film star) the very attractive William catches the peruse of a lady, Jocelyn (the very fair Shannyn Sossamon), and sets out to derive her heart. However, standing between William and his two goals of winning the World Championships and winning the hand of Lady Jocelyn stands the dastardly Count Adhemar (brilliantly played by Rufus Sewell, Dim City) .
This is a surprising change of direction for writer/Director Brian Helgelend (LA Confidential) . This movie is tremendous fun and the mixture of rock music (they recount, clap and impress Queen’s We Will Rock You before each joust) and medieval times works surprisingly well, adding to the excitement and atmosphere of each competition. Both Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon shine in their lead roles and allotment top-notch on-screen sexual chemistry. However, it is Paul Bettany who steals most scenes as the occasionally naked, always in inconvenience, lyrical Geoffrey Chaucer. Also contemplate out for James Purefoy in a relatively runt role (but tipped for greater things)!

Extra features on the DVD include a light-hearted commentary from Brian Helgeland and Paul Bettany, where they teach some of the FX tricks of the trade and hear Helgeland feign ignorance of the fact that they didn’t dance to David Bowie in 1366 or play Queen’s “We Will Rock You” at jousting tournaments. There is also a passable documentary and some suitable deleted scenes and a music video where Britains most celebrated of recent musical stars Robbie Williams performs Queen’s “We Are the Champions” with all the pomp and grandiosity of Freddie Mercury, outlining why he is considered natural heir to Mercury’s throne as Britains Greatest Showman.
Four stars for the movie (five stars are far too often and easily dispensed), four stars for the extras. Well worth checking out.
