Chaucer's England

Tread the pilgrim’s path with Chaucer's England, a vivid archival film that breathes life into Chaucer’s The Pardoner’s Tale, unfurling across the very lanes his travelers roamed—Canterbury’s cobbles and London’s Tabard Inn. This mid-century gem creaks open—hooves clop past ancient spires, a pardoner preaches with sly grin, his tale of greed and death spinning amid medieval murk. The camera roams—Canterbury’s cathedral looms, the Inn’s timbers groan, pilgrims trudge in woolen cloaks, betrayal brewing in a tavern’s flicker. Grainy frames hum—gold glints, oaths break, a morality play dances on Chaucer’s turf—a mid-20th-century lens on a 14th-century yarn, etched in England’s bones.
