DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

His epic historical films like *Alexander Nevsky* powerfully depicted medieval Russian history through innovative cinematic techniques and grand battle sequences.

Pier Paolo Pasolini → Italy

His *Canterbury Tales* and *The Decameron* brought medieval literature to cinema with raw authenticity, capturing the social hierarchies and sensuality of the period.
