The programmer’s eye

Lulled by the story of an old man, girls and boys of today find themselves immersed in the Middle Ages, in the role of Jesus Christ, Joan of Arc or courteous lovers. It is time for women’s liberation. It is the unprecedented reading that Hubert Viel made about this age, recreated here in stunning black and white. Filmed with children, Les Filles au Moyen Âge is a wacky tale touched by grace, like a Monty Python with faith.
