What are the best movies set in the Middle Ages?

>>84154292
Anything Russian. They know how to do bleak right.

>>84154292
"Black Death" 2010

>>84154372
This is probably true. I've only seen one Russian film and it was some of the bleakest shit i've ever seen. Draining to watch.

>>84154292
Seventh Seal

It was an age of ignorance and filth and disease. Do you find that charming?

>>84154545
Not saying it was the best, but everyone portrays it as hell on earth. It was probably just like every other time, guy

>Medieval Nordic peoples bathed twice a week, more than many people here do now
Lot of other peoples did the same. Lot of the descendants of the celts bathed regularly, even if not, it was at least a weekly accordance in most places.

>>84154545
You're just wrong, American. The Middle Age was full of sacredness, beautiful poetry and beautiful music. Call this ignorance or lack of progress and I'll punch your face

>>84154803
>constant scientific and mechanical innovation
Yeah, at the cost of life in prison for speaking against the word of the church or whatever douchebag was in power at the time.

Also not all Russian movies are bleak. Many are funny comedies.

>>84155046
The church actually protected scientific advancements. It wasn't until Gailileo that the church and science really butted heads.

I didn't say they were. Alexander Nevsky isn't very bleak, neither is Andrei Rublev, really

>>84155585
>neither is Andrei Rublev
Ehhh, I disagree. The movie pretty much revolves around pleasing whatever rich guy wants something, or dying.

Hard To Be A God is as good as it gets. Each scene is so absolutely packed with detail, the set design is on another level altogether. You'd be fooled into thinking it wasn't straight up footage from the Middle Ages, impossible as that may be.

I've never been more engaged with a film in all my life

What middle ages kinos have period accurate clothing and sets? I'm tired of looking at faggot Game of Thrones/LotR costume and set design.

>>84157421
>preserving scientific discoveries
Yes, those few ideas that didn't conflict with the church's word. Anything else, you know, like the concept of a universe, or a round Earth, may as well have been the teachings of the devil. Details of how to make wine, while important, weren't exactly key to advancement.

OP here.

I see very nice suggestions and I'm writing some of them down to watch later.
Anyway I think I'm looking for more comfy films. Any ideas?

Hard to be a God caused such a massive constipation for decades to director, that he had to die in order for his son to smoosh that utter dross together into anything remotely veiw'able.
It's a mess in a worst possible way.

If you are serious about watching a good medieval movie, look no further than picrelated.

>>84154292
the only correct answer is Black Knight

>>84155559
And that was because Galileo portrayed his benefactor (a bishop iirc) as a drooling imbecile in one of his works, for god knows what reason.

>>84157601
it's a fucking mess, and if you don't see it - you're a brainless ponce that will blindly follow anything hip and niche to follow.

>>84157640
Maybe some indie production.

>>84156361
>Leviathan
which one?

>>84154292

unironically Monty Python and the Holy Grail :^)))

>>84158352
Galileo was a natural-born writer, he could have been a novelist as well

it's not that violent, it's dirty
shit and maggots and mud everywhere and people with fucked up skin
and it's very slow, and long
also maybe i got bad subs but i couldn't understand some things properly

>>84159586
seems pretty much like a meme movie

>>84156301
It's was utterly shit. I mean I get the whole artistic angle, but you may still want to make your film at least somewhat watchable. Never before have I seen such a revolting, asphyxiating movie. I had to drop it out of sheer exhaustion.

A Knights Tale is the GOAT

>>84159672
It's probably nothing like you'd expect, honestly. It was sort of a parody of the middle ages. The main character is a scientist from another planet who is sworn to not intervene with the advancement of his hosts. Meanwhile, the natives are out eliminating anyone with more than two brain cells. Kinda like what happened on our planet.

>>84159586
The subs I've got are pretty bad, too. Luckily, there really wasn't much speaking going on, 3/4 of the characters were borderline retarded.

>>84154372
my favorite thing about russian directors is that they don't fall into the whole edgy/shock tactics that other european directors do. i don't know, from the small amount of russian cinema i've watched, they don't come across as purposely edgy just to be edgy like contemporary french films do.
i could just be a dumb pleb though.

I've never seen a film fall apart more completely than that one did in the last fifteen minutes. Not even Dune at the half-way point.
