Episode 4- The Age of Gothic (26.13 min) | Click here to watch
The origin of Gothic architecture as found in the choir of the Abbey Church of St. Denis and the Chartres Cathedral serves as a model of High Gothic style.

A documentary series presented by Michael Wood, exploring magnificent masterpieces of the Western world in their cultural and historical settings. The series consists of eighteen episodes, each of which focusses on the artistic contributions of one period in the history of the West, from Ancient Greece to the late 1980s. From the classical ideals in Greek and Roman antiquity, through the Renaissance, to the postmodernism of the later 1980s, the series provides a panorama of 2000 years of architecture, painting and sculpture, and studies the art masterpieces as reflections of the Western culture that produced them.

Two episodes will be presented every week online

Episode 3 – A White Garment of Churches (26.10 min) | Click here to watch
With the fall of the Roman empire, Christianity flourished with the Church as patron of monumental Romanesque architecture and sculpture.

A Matter of Life and Death (UK) | (104 min; 1946; English) | Click here to watch
Directors: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger

With David Niven, Roger Livesey, Kim Hunter, Marius Goring

Recipient of the Bodil Award for Best Foreign Film, Bodil Awards 1948
A Matter of Life and Death is undoubtedly one of the best films ever made - cheerful, whimsical, fantastical and full of human warmth and cheer. Nearly every moment drips with style, loving enthusiasm and balls-to-the-wall filmmaking skill. Powell and Pressburger mine the heavenly situation with wit, intelligence and infectious good humour, delivering a solid-gold screenplay using the archetype of a courtroom drama, blending it superbly with melodrama, a red-blooded romance and a great buddy story
