The LUU Medieval Society Film Night returns for IMC 2025! We will present The King (2019), an epic historical drama directed by David Michôd, based on several plays from the Henriad of William Shakespeare.

Timothée Chalamet stars as Prince Henry, son of King Henry IV of England. The film follows him as he transforms from a debauched young man to a king, navigating palace politics and reoccurring civil strife. Trying to unite the country and leave his tumultuous past behind him, Henry will wage war on France, leading to the bloody battle of Agincourt. Can he succeed in his campaign? Join us and find out!

The film will be introduced by members of the society, and it will be followed by an open discussion - which can always continue in Old Bar...

Viewers should note that this film is rated 15 for strong gory images and violence.

The LUU Medieval Society was formed in 2013 in order to promote a thriving community of medievalists at the University and city of Leeds. To learn more about LUU Medieval Society, visit https://engage.luu.org.uk/groups/J7M/medieval-society.
