Illuminated Lives: A Brief History of Women's Work in the Middle Ages

| 04 July 1989 (USA)

This animated short challenges enduring myths, spawned by fairy tales and romances, about women in medieval society. It explores the differences and similarities between that distant period and our own, and shows what medieval women’s lives were really like.

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Tyreece Hulme

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Zandra

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Ortiz

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
