DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His film 'Ivan the Terrible' provides a masterful exploration of medieval court politics, power struggles, and the psychological toll of absolute rule through innovative visual language.

 Paolo Sorrentino Italy

His 'Canterbury Tales' and approach to medieval source material reveal the raw humanity, sensuality, and brutal social dynamics of medieval court life with unflinching authenticity.
