What's it called?!

I'm trying to find the title of a British film set in Medieval times. It features a doctor, who examines an ill patient and says "We're wasting our time, aren't we? We're dead!" - that is all I can remember about the film! The doctor may have been Pete Postlethwaite, but I don't know.
