What are some other medieval/renaissance period dramas worth watching? Not necessarily action oriented...

Eh he's fine. It's all subjective I suppose.

You'll be hardpressed to find kino as good as Wolf Hall

>Marketa Lazarova
>Flesh + Blood
>Hussite Revolution Trilogy
>Arn the Templar
>Kingdom of Heaven
>Udoli Vcel (Valley of the Bees)
>Warriors of Faith/Jan Roháč z Dubé
>El Cid
>Spanilá jízda
>Witchhammer (Kladivo na čarodějnice)
>The Seventh Seal
>The Name of the Rose (the book is better and more historical though and the miniseries is garbage)
>Tirant le Blanche (more like alt-history than actual historical medieval)
>Kryzacy (AKA Knight of the Teutonic Order)

That's all the recommendations I got. If anyone has some more, I'd be interested to hear them too.

I forgot to mention Dablovy Past too, that's a good one.

Even her fucking pupils are different sizes.
Holy fucking shit.

Books are even better, on the fourth one right now.

Anyway OP should watch Elizabeth R

The Borgias (2011)

For me, it's The Name of the Rose.
Great pick. Seconded.

The series Elizabeth R starring Glenda Jackson was very good.

Best all-around performances I've ever seen put to film. The high def restoration was a godsend, DVD looked like shit

Get the longest cut you can find. This movie is great.

>ywn be the leader of a band of cutthroat mercs

Wolf Hall was unironically kino.

>Longest cut
Wait there's a longer version? What scenes are missing? I wanted to see more of Hawkwood honestly. Is there more?

The book is better imo but the movie is decent too. The Miniseries is awful though.

I’d probably fuck third from the left

>Wait there's a longer version? What scenes are missing? I wanted to see more of Hawkwood honestly. Is there more?
You might have seen it already, it's the current standard.
There was a version that cut out a lot of the rapes and some other scenes. I haven't seen it either, though.

The Borgias. As long as you can stand that it never got a ending.

>The book is better imo but the movie is decent too. The Miniseries is awful though.
I didn't even know there was a miniseries. How bad did it fuck up? I agree the book was better, but the movie's atmosphere was great.

Holy shit. This woman is about fifty extra pounds away from being a 1/10.
Never thought I'd even see a 2, much less such a fucking low 2.

That's a shame. If there was a longer cut with more of Hawkwood that would've been interesting. I found him to be the most fascinating character in the movie in my opinion and I felt he needed more screen time. Good movie nonetheless though.

I didn't watched all of it, I just saw a few clips and heard a few opinions from a few friends. Apparently rather than expanding upon the historical themes from the book that were cut from the movie due to lack of runtime, they instead chose to add some fucking downright retarded subplots, according to a close friend of mine that adored the book they even added some dumb references to current day politics.
From what I've seen the miniseries looks way more unstructured and the acting and atmosphere just seem inferior to the movie. It's fucking stupid because a miniseries was the perfect way to adapt something as unadaptable as Umberto Eco and instead of doing that they fucked it up and appealed to the Game of Thrones audience. It's really disappointing. I might someday watch it in it's entirety and maybe it's worse than what I've heard or better, but either way it doesn't hold a candle to the movie or the book.

Would fuck the one in red and the one in blue.
All these women already look awful but they will look like absolute death the next morning.

>That's a shame. If there was a longer cut with more of Hawkwood that would've been interesting.
lol didn't mean to get your hopes up. But yeah, if what you watched was 126 minutes, then you watched the whole thing.
>according to a close friend of mine that adored the book they even added some dumb references to current day politics.
Fucking hell. I wouldn't bother watching it at all. It didn't look very good from what I googled.

is this actually good? i liked this guy's performance in Bridge of Spies, really subtle and understated

aren't there 2 Borgia shows. one's got Jeremy Irons and Sam from GoT and one's supposed to be good

>is this actually good?

Yes.

I plan on watching it. Apparently it got ridiculously high praise.

see

>lol didn't mean to get your hopes up. But yeah, if what you watched was 126 minutes, then you watched the whole thing.
Yeah. That's the one I watched. It's a shame. The movie starts out to make it seem like Hawkwood will have a role with the whole brain-damaged traumatised Nun scene, but after that he seems to mostly be in the background until he recovers from the Plague and throws the plague-infested dog's carcass which allows Steven to win against Martin.
>Fucking hell. I wouldn't bother watching it at all. It didn't look very good from what I googled.
It doesn't. Your best bet is just sticking with the book and movie and reading Eco's other material. Eco's stuff is way too hard to be understood by modern-day movie directors, so your best bet is to stick with the books or the older adaptations like the 1980s movie.

Great show, but don't watch it on Netflix as they mysteriously altered the episodes. As I recall they are longer but there's less so each one contains a bit of the next

>Her parents, Margaret (née Foster) and Henry Thompson, were both of Irish descent but born in England

>Anti-Stratfordian
Dropped

The White Queen with female Liev Schreiber. It's where based TC™ found her.

So now that the next novel is finally coming out, do you think they'll make a second series? I doubt it desu but I'd love it if they did

it made both Mark Rylance and Claire Foy into stars (Mark in films, Claire in The Crown). Claire is pretty much the definitive Anne Boelyn.

it also has Bernard Hill in his best role since Theoden. he's fucking unforgettable.

Really? Still a good actor though.
