Kaamelott - Wikipedia. Kaamelott is a Frenchcomedymedieval fantasytelevision series created, directed, written, scored, and edited by Alexandre Astier, who also stars as the main character.[1] Based on the Arthurian legends, it follows the daily lives of King Arthur (Astier) and his Knights of the Round Table in Camelot.[2] The series, which originally ran for six seasons (referred to as "books"), run from 2. M6. The series was preceded in 2. Dies iræ, with mostly the same cast and concept, which was used to pitch the idea of the series to the network, which at a time was looking to replace another successful short TV series, Caméra Café. However, Kaamelott exceeded Caméra Café's audience only three weeks after broadcasting started. It is widely regarded as one of the best, most iconic, and most popular French TV series of all time.[3][4] It has also been praised for its fidelity as, outside of comedic liberties, it stays highly relevant to the mythology and to the historic context.[5]While the series takes place in the 5th century, it uses modern language and situations to create a humorous view of the Arthurian legend. However, in latter seasons, the mood becomes darker and more dramatic as Arthur's kingdom begins to disintegrate.[6] The cast features regular collaborators of Astier, including Jean- Christophe Hembert (Karadoc) who directed his two subsequent one- man shows, as well as Astier's father Lionnel, his mother Joëlle Sevilla and his half- brother Simon also star in the show as Leodegrance, Dame Séli and their son Ywain respectively.

Since the end of the series in 2. Astier worked on a film trilogy to conclude the series. Shooting was originally planned for 2. Kaamelott to him.[7][8] In November, 2.

Astier won back the rights of the series and started production again, with shooting currently planned for summer 2. Episodes[edit]Format and broadcast[edit]The episode format for Kaamelott was at first very short. Unaired pilot episodes attempted a six- minute format that was rejected by the television network. Broadcast episodes from season 1 to 4 lasted about three and a half minutes, the same as Caméra Café. These seasons are made up of a hundred of these short episodes, and originally seven such seasons were planned by Astier and M6. A season is referred to as a "livre", which means "book", in the promotional material and DVD covers. The episodes were broadcast on M6 in France starting in 2.

The second half followed the same format in the fall of 2. Season 4 was the first season that really told a story. Whereas in the earlier seasons one could watch the short episodes in any order, in Season 4 more than half the episodes were connected to a plot (and episodes 9. Season 5 has several intertwining plots which are presented chronologically through the whole season.

This presented storytelling and editing problems which were incompatible with the old 3½- minute format, and has resulted in at least 3 different versions of Season 5: 3 5. DVD "director's cut." In the interview of the DVD, Alexandre Astier explains that is in the director's cut version that season 5 must be seen. Season 6 was always, from the time shooting began, conceived of as a series of 4. Around the time that shooting began on Season 6, Astier announced that there would be no Season 7. Season 6 consists of a prequel (how Arthur became king of Britain) followed by an episode which is a sequel to Season 5. Season 6 had a theatrical premiere as part of the "Paris fait sa comédie" festival, with a showing of seven episodes at the Grand Rex theater on March 2.

The Livre was shown on M6 in October and November 2. Strike One Full Movie Part 1. Saturday night. The ratings for Livre 6 were relatively low (2. DVD was expected to hit the market almost immediately afterwards.

The series has also been shown on TSR2 in Switzerland, on Club RTL in Belgium and on Historia in Canada. Astier hopes to follow the television series with a trilogy of films about Arthur.

He has said that the last episode of Season 6 prepares the audience for the movie series. Production[edit]From the beginning, the series was shot in a widescreen format and the photography was comparable to movie quality. Thus in appearance the film is a drama rather than a sitcom. As the series goes on, there are more and more exteriors. Seasons 1- 4 take place almost entirely in or near the fortress of Kaamelott. For the first two seasons, the interiors were shot in Paris, but production moved to Lyon for the third season (entailing changes in some sets, particularly Merlin's Laboratory).

The castle exteriors are filmed at a medieval castle near Lyon. Parts of Seasons 5 and 6 were filmed in Brittany, and some of Season 6 was filmed in Rome at the Cinecittà Studios on the sets built for HBO's Rome. The shooting schedule for 1. Astier prepares the scenarios for the entire season ahead of time.[1. In order to shoot as economically and quickly as possible, all the scenes using a particular set (especially exteriors) are shot consecutively. This gives each season an individual texture, since an exterior setting will always have the same weather, more or less, and characters wear the same clothing in a particular setting when it reappears in various episodes.[1. The last 1. 2 episodes of Season 2 were shot at the same time as the Season 3 episodes.[1.

Costuming continuity is achieved in the first seasons simply by having the principal characters dressed the same in nearly every episode. Knights seated at the Round Table wear armor in the first four seasons, and in the first season they also wear armor in battle exteriors. Through the first five seasons, though new costumes are introduced, Karadoc usually wears red, Perceval blue, Lancelot off- white, and Bohort green (in a few episodes, Sir Herve appears in a yellow costume). Arthur wears blacks with deep reds and purples; Leodagan gray or gray- blue and black. Astier usually writes the actual dialogue the night before a scene is shot.[1. Thus if a three- minute episode includes an exterior scene, a scene in a bedroom, and a scene in the hallway, the actors would be learning their lines for the episode (along with the lines for other bits of episodes using that set) on three different days.

List of Kaamelott episodes[edit]Content[edit]The series title refers of course to Arthur's fortress Camelot; the peculiar spelling may come from the Old French Kamaalot, a spelling which can be found in the 1. French Lancelot- Grail cyclical romances.[1. The double A forms the monogram of the show's creator, and the title generates puns based on the French word camelote ("cheap junk"). The short format of the first four seasons demanded a comic structure, with each episode ending on an ironic note of some kind which would twist the situation presented into a memorable whole. Thus the series was perceived as pure comedy—parody, satire, sitcom, or “so British,” meaning a straight- faced historical send- up in the style of Rowan Atkinson’s Blackadder or Monty Python and the Holy Grail.[1. Astier had a lot of explaining to do when Season 5 turned out to have a very dark plot, full of terrible obsessions and passions.[1.

Season 5 also involved a move towards a different format; it was broadcast both in short format and in longer sections, and the DVD cut resembled a dramatic miniseries.

It’s the evils of feudalism and industrial workers’ exploitation in Europe and America, but not the strict Confucian evils of Northeast Asia. There, a member of the ruling class in China had, essentially, a free hand with anyone of the lower classes, a Japanese samurai could test his sword by cutting down an insolent peasant, and farmers were so squeezed by their fief holders that they habitually sold their daughters to bordellos for the few coins it provided for next season’s seed.

Equality psychos are tearing down the most egalitarian society that ever existed (except for initial communist experiments, before they turned bloody).
