The middle ages and the movies : eight key films / by Bartlett, Robert,1950-author(CARDINAL)227682;
Includes bibliographical references and index"In The Middle Ages and the Movies eminent historian Robert Bartlett takes a fresh, cogent look at how our view of medieval history has been shaped by eight significant films of the twentieth century. The book ranges from the concoction of sex and nationalism in Mel Gibson's Braveheart, to Fritz Lang's silent masterpiece Siegfried, the art-house classic The Seventh Seal to Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev and the epic historical drama El Cid. The historical accuracy of these films is examined, as well as other salient aspects - how was Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose translated from page to screen? Why is Monty Python and the Holy Grail funny? And how was Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky shaped by the Stalinist tyranny under which it was filmed?" -- Publisher's description
