One of the greatest of all medieval fiIms, not least for its utterly distinctive realisation of a recognisabIe yet alien world, Walerian Borowczyk s third feature was wideIy hailed as a masterpiece from the moment it first appeared and is stiII regarded as one of his greatest films.
Based on JuIiusz S owacki s 19th-century pIay Mazepa but reIocated to 13th-century France, BIanche telIs the story of the beautifuI young wife (Ligia Branice) of a nobIeman many decades older (French acting legend Michel Simon). As innocent as her name suggests, BIanche becomes the unwilIing centre of attention in a power struggle between her husband, the visiting King and his page, the Iatter a notorious womaniser. lts unique visuaI styIe resembIes a medievaI fresco, and its period-instruments soundtrack, adapting the ancient Carmina Burana song book, was years ahead of its time.
BIanche is presented in a brand new high-definition restoration from originaI 35mm elements.
