A film featuring Heath Ledger praised as "the greatest of all time" is broadcasting on Channel 4 this afternoon.
The picture stars the late Hollywood performer Heath as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who masquerades as a knight and participates in tournaments, earning acclaim and forging friendships with historical figures including Edward the Black Prince (James Purefoy) and Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany).
The 14th-century narrative is deliberately anachronistic, featuring numerous modern pop culture nods and a soundtrack containing 1970s music.
The picture derives its title from Chaucer's story The Knight's Tale, part of The Canterbury Tales, and similarly borrows multiple plot elements from Chaucer's work.
Columbia Pictures released the film in the United States on May 11, 2001 to divided critical reception and it earned $117.5 million against a budget of $65 million, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Boasting a 59% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, cinema enthusiasts have shared reviews expressing their candid opinions on the movie.
One spectator wrote: "A film lacking in polish but more than makes up for it with heart.
"A feel-good story for the masses about man born to nothing, who gets lucky and uses that opportunity to make his mark, not by right of birth, but by the virtues of bravery, tenacity, and kindness."
Another commented: "This one aged well, I think. Heartbreaking in retrospect of the tragic loss of leading man Heath Ledger, but also one of the films that helped launch the careers of Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell, Mark Addy and others.
"It's just fun to watch if you love romantic stories cast in the back drop of the time of knights, lords and ladies, despicable villains and unapologetically uplifting happy endings."
A third viewer chimed in: "Perfect movie for anachronistic lovers! Miss Heath tremendously." A fourth concurred: "This is one is the greatest movies of all time."
A Knight's Tale airs on Channel 4 at 12.50pm on Saturday, October 11
