Gahmuret “the Angevin”

Here is Gahmuret, Parsival’s dad. Pausing a moment in his career of battlelust. Did he ponder before his fall, how his need for freedom might have hurt Belacayne or Herzeloyde? Did he?

Gahmuret, Parzival’s dad and his wanderlust.

I would like to make all these dolls and have a grand epic play. So, if you are making any of these guys, let me know, we can have a grand old Parzival playdate!

While I am busy sewing other dolls, let us tarry on some of Eric Rohmer’s Perceval le Gallois (Chrétien de Troyes version) film snippets. Why snippets? I did try to upload the entire film on youtube but due to my inexperience, I could not show the video with sound. I searched online and only find snippets of the film.

Perceval Le Gallois by Eric Rohmer

A tip for those who live close to Costa Mesa: Newport Beach Public Library has a copy of Perceval DVD.

Passion Scene from Perceval le Gallois. Eric Rohmer’s Perceval le Gallois has this lengthy passion scene at the end, with some beautiful, traditional Latin choral music. Reminds me of my Catholic upbringing! Beautiful! I just love to watch the energy of these actors! They sang with all their hearts! I love this scene… just look at the singers’ faces and their resounding voices with their whole beings poured into the singing.
