This movie has stayed with me ever since seeing it as a teenager when it was played as an accompanying short film to "The Empire Strikes Back". I thought it was absolutely brilliant however I also remember the comments of "Eh?" and "I don't get it" I overheard at the cinema.It is dark, moody, brooding and atmospheric. Something to be experienced and slowly digested rather than passively watched - much of what a viewer will take out of this movie will be based upon what they themselves read into it.I am so glad to have finally found out what the movie was called and even better to have found it is finally available. I am downloading it on iTunes as we speak!

*THIS POST CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS* I remember watching this short in the cinema supporting The Empire Strikes Back. Although a little fuzzy now after a quarter of a century, I seem to remember the main character, some kind of knight, had a horse called Richard, and was wearing a large heavy helmet which didn't do him much good when he fell into a stretch of water and couldn't get it off. Before he drowns he manages to free the helmet from his head and scrambles back onto dry land and thus go's off on some quest involving a girl. Ultimately he ends up fighting his evil nemesis and during the battle is returned to the water to drown wearing the same helmet. I think the film is trying to suggest the knight did drown but was hallucinating during the event, hence the quest.I may be wrong so lets hope it appears on DVD sometime soon!

moving, memorable, ultra-Gothic - the sort of imagery that shapes lives this is a short that walks in your nightmares ... but WHERE OH WHERE has it gone? I can still see much of it in my mind's eye even after almost a quarter century, but I'd love to be able to watch it again - and again - and again ...ROGER: please please consider including BlackAngel as some kind of 'bonus track' on the eventual DVD release of your latest project "Gilgamesh"please?B.

The best short film that i can remember was this little gem.Beautifully shot and very moody, this flick was very interesting to the eye, as well as having a simple, but effective storyline. This without a doubt should be released to the public in the form of a collection of other shorts or just by itself on DVD.
