Knightriders
George Romero ditches the zombies of his previous films to ask if the ideals of chivalry and the
code of the knight can survive in the modern age. Ed Harris plays Billy, aka King William, trying
to hold together a ragtag company of motorcycle jousters as a contemporary Camelot. It sounds
abusrd, but the film takes its premise seriously as a drama of idealism in a fallen world, and
succeeds rather better than the hot mess that was last month’s film, Zardoz. The Guardian
observes, “The set up is outrageous, but Romero’s sprawling, overlooked film is really a loving,
complicated examination of the difficulties of living a life at odds with the status quo . . .
[Billy’s] kingdom isn’t just about playing dress-up; he wants to create a new society for the
drifters, lost souls and people the world leaves behind.” Screen Slate rhapsodizes, “[A] singular
combination of medieval fantasy and post-60s rebel mystique.” And Newsweek enthuses,
“Knightriders has a startling sweetness, warmth and humor.”.
Type of Event: Theatre / Film. Other location: Mystiic Theatre. City/Area: Nevada City. Age range: Teens. Adult. Seniors. Event details: George Romero's 1981 drama has Ed Harris holding together his ragtag ren fair Camelot of motorycyle jousters.
