Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Henry Cavill plays Melot here, years before he became Superman—his first major studio role involved betraying James Franco, which feels prophetic.
The Tristan legend predates Arthurian romance and was hugely influential on medieval literature; Gottfried von Strassburg's version is considered the literary peak, while this film borrows most from the earlier Thomas of Britain tradition.
