DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His adaptations of medieval texts like the Canterbury Tales and Decameron bring literary classics to vivid cinematic life with unflinching artistic vision.

Eric Rohmer France

He directed Perceval le Gallois, a deeply faithful and philosophical adaptation of the medieval Arthurian romance that prioritizes narrative poetry over conventional filmmaking.
