I noticed the audience smiling and moving to the music. In this still William and Chaucer celebrate one of the young knight's many victories on the tournament field. Many games need to be won to achieve the ultimate victory and each tournament provides a new challenges to the community. The community changes with each experience and they get to know each other in more profound ways. Rufus Sewell plays William's foe Count Adhemar, a ruthlessly charismatic champion determined to derail the young squire's dreams.
Every story needs a devil.
Shannyn Sossamon plays Jocelyn. There really are no new twists in this story. It's just the delightful way in which it's presented. Again, nothing new here. Early in the film William honors the Prince, and in return, at a critical moment at the end of the film, the Prince bestows grace, mercy and salvation on William.
