This book is an informal attempt at defining the genre of medieval
film by describing its features and analysing its effects and their
significance, there being few works presently available that work
toward such definition. There are three parts: the introduction
enters the medieval film world, describing its typical features and
showing how they create a convincing sense of its time; three short
chapters discuss authenticity, simplicity and spectacle-the roots
of film medievalism; and six longer chapters comment on individual
films. Works are discussed that extend the reach of the genre, such
as Dreyer's La Passion de Jeanne D'Arc with its emotional range, or
Bergman's Seventh Seal, which creates a universal symbolism. In
short, the author describes what goes into a medieval film and how
it affects its audience, while offering suggestions about why its
themes are meaningful to us.
