Juggling in the Movies
"Near the beginning, one of a trio of traveling players wakes up, emerges from their wagon, does a couple forward rolls, asks his horse about breakfast, deplores society's lack of appreciation for the arts, and does a right-handed, two ball shower."
Mr. Cranky Review
Mr. Cranky says: "How a medieval knight and his squire (Gunnar Bjornstrand) running around the countryside wondering about life and its meaning constitutes great filmmaking is beyond me. It's not that far from 'Beavis and Butthead Do Sweden.'" Um. Ok.
