Medieval Tapestries: Middle Ages on Film

(Tutor: Sheldon Hall) Click HERE to download more information.

With new versions of the King Arthur and Robin Hood legends recently reaching both the big and the small screen, the medieval world has challenged Imperial Rome and Ancient Greece as the prime source of material for epic entertainment. While Hollywood has often exploited the Middle Ages for big-budget spectacle and costume adventure, other countries’ film industries have also explored aspects of their early history. This course examines five films set in the centuries between the Dark Ages and the Renaissance, each from a different country (including Britain and Ireland, Russia, Scandinavia, America and France), made by directors such as Sergei Eisenstein, Carl Dreyer and Eric Rohmer, and dramatising such themes as nationalism, mysticism, Puritanism, chivalry, witchcraft and lyrical romance.
