The Mists Of Avalon
Passion. Mysticism. Adventure. Journey Beyond the Legend of Camelot.
Long live the new king. But who will it be? The answer will come through the mystical and powerful manipulations of fate emanating from Avalon.
The Mists Of Avalon, from Marion Zimmer Bradley's bestseller, retells the Arthurian legend from the perspective of the women who shaped events with spiritual powers. Anjelica Huston plays high priestess Viviane, the Lady of the Lake determined to perpetuate the ways of Avalon. Julianna Margulies is Morgaine, her chosen successor. Joan Allen portrays Morgause, fiercely driven to shape the royal lineage to her own end. Out of the lives of these three and others - and out of the mists - will come a nation's destiny.

Finally, a good pagan movie out there!! Love this movie!! A great film showing the ways of the goddess, Beltaine and other ways of Avalon. Avalon followers have their own path to follow now based partially on history and partially on Marrion Zimmer Bradley's novels. Great acting, good music and fantastic story line. I absolutely love this movie and can never get tired of it! I highly recomend it to everyone and anyone! Especially those who love magick, stories of Arther, Lancelot, Morgaine Le Fay, Guinnevere, Merlin and for pagans or pagan friendly people who want to learn more!!Spectacular - PHabsch
This movie is absolutely stunning.
Beautiful costumes, beautiful scenery, good acting, and the story (based on Marion Zimmer Bradley's fabulous novel) is enthralling.
The story takes a very different approach to the Arthurian genre, using a female perspective, which changes the way you look at the whole legend. These types of stories are traditionally told from a male perspective.
We had been trying to get this movie from Blockbuster for years. It apparently had gone missing from the store. However, we were thrilled to get it from zip.ca.I enjoyed it - ladytonia
I enjoyed this movie. Yes in places it was a bit slow and predictable, but overall was a good movie. Kept my interest thru, nice scenery in places. I did not find it too long as some others have. Fair bit of violence and some sex. Good for an afternoon when you just want to veg on the couch.
