Excalibur (1981)
The story of the exploits of the legendary King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table falls into the hands of the great John Burman a vivid and aesthetically powerful film, a step forward from a medieval epic, placed in a kitschy setting of the highest visual craftsmanship.

Braveheart (1995)
Mel Gibson mainly uses the excellent cinematography of John Toll (another Oscar) to create a film about war and rebellion that can ignite a generation of viewers. Inspired and filled with truly powerful images, brave heart he is not inferior in any scene, sticks out the viewer’s chest and moves him in more than one scene.

Valhalla Rising (2009)
In the hand of A. Nicholas Winding Refn in a state of grace, the Scandinavian Middle Ages turns into a cheerful and intuitive hell dominated by Madds Mikkelsen wild and imposing, in one of the most physical and charismatic trials of his career. Valhalla uprising scene after scene, the film becomes so sumptuous it almost becomes subtle, a dissertation on human nature framed in an aesthetic that is always mesmerizing when it comes to this author. For us, his best film since Only God Forgives and Drive. Available on Amazon Prime Video.
King (2019)
A new film adaptation – very updated – of William Shakespeare’s play “Henry V” in the hands of David Michaud becomes a wonderful reflection on the weight of power and the responsibility it entails. King in our opinion, it is too underestimated by critics, as it is a heartfelt film that is part of the protagonist’s dilemmas. Timothy Chalamet as well as his supporting actors, among whom stand out the credible Joel Edgerton AND Ben Mendelsohn. A visually balanced work, with a strong finale and moments of beautifully coordinated cinema. Personally, the film is very dear to us. Available at Netflix.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (2021)
Undoubtedly the best movie ever David Lowryan epic and philosophical parable presented through a personal and rhythmic vision of a medieval legend. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight starring Dev Patel a very good and regular group of great actors who need to be supported. A highly forward-thinking feature film, yet capable of being intimate, sensual, almost whisper-capable to the viewer. Even when its meaning and texture become dark, it is still completely hypnotic. To be loved unconditionally. Available on Amazon Prime Video.
