The film's opening shot is directly inspired by the October illumination of the <em>Tr\u00e8s Riches Heures of the Duke of Berry<\/em>. A pristine white castle appears atop a hill, while below a peasant sows seed by hand; another on horseback passes through the portcullis, thus offering a synthesis of the feudal system. In general, peasants serve merely as scenery in medievalist films, hence their often marginal position on the screen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Carn\u00e9's film presents a hieratic image of the Middle Ages. The castle's interior garden, likewise very conventional, is inspired by the illuminations taken from Guillaume de Lloris's <em>Roman de la Rose<\/em>. It is the setting for the lovers' encounter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, you can sense vivid sunlit landscapes despite the film being shot in studios. This flamboyant environment is not meant to last. From the 1970s\/1980s onwards, the medieval world is consistently dark, misty and rainy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Night Visitors, a dream of the Middle Ages The Night Visitors (1942) by Marcel Carn\u00e9 establishes a particular historical representation.
