These films are a real journey through time.
The Middle Ages are an era of knights, large-scale battles and palace intrigues that have long fascinated both viewers and directors. Many films have been made about this historical period, but behind the scenes of these stories lie huge budgets: creating realistic sets, armor and extras requires enormous costs.
This selection contains the 10 best films about the Middle Ages, which not only amaze with the scale of the battle scenes, but also with the huge investments. Each of these films takes the viewer to distant times, and no time or money was spared on this cinematic time machine.
One of the most interesting films from our selection is ‘Ran’ by Akira Kurosawa. This film will certainly be appreciated by fans of the modern series “Shogun” – because the settings are very similar. Only ‘Ran’, despite being filmed in 1985, does not look worse today than ‘Shogun’ – of course, not least due to the impressive budget and Kurosawa’s fastidious attention to the smallest details.
Kurosawa spent nearly ten years storyboarding this film, and by the time he filmed he was nearly blind, so he had to build every frame with the help of assistants. In addition, several hundred costumes were made by hand for this film – this also took two years. If time were added to the budget of films as currency, Run would certainly be one of the most expensive films in the history of cinema.
