Wrong era. And literature not history.

Jane Eyre?

I'm assuming that the name is the name of the female you keep showing us. Also that Charlotte Bronte was very forward thinking writing for TV.

Completely wrong era.
But you're right that the female character's name is also the title of the movie.

The most famous of all Danish directors wanted to do this film with a certain actress but never managed to do it. An even more famous director from another country made his own with said actress not long after the death of Dane #1. Another Dane, these days likely even more famous at least among the common audience, took up the old script and adapted it for TV. The images posted are from that TV production.

I can't decide what era it is. Chain mail was popular for a long time.

The round pommel could be classic (Roman/Greek). I was thinking on a classic Shakespeare but none of the dramas seem to fit.

I'm thinking the story is earlier than medieval. I am sure I have not seen this movie, but looking at the photos I wonder if this was a movie version of one of the Greek tragedies?  If that is the case then the most likely candidate as far as I know would be Euripides' play Medea, as that has been the most popular of the Greek tragedies over the last few decades.  Still don't know the movie, though so I could be completely on the wrong track.

Lars Von Trier? Did he manage to make the original more awful? (I like his cinematographer and his flow is good, but his misanthropy is hard to swallow).

He moved the setting from Greece tu Jutland and struck some chorus scenes from the Dreyer script but otherwise kept it as it was.
And if you know Dreyer films, you'll know that the pacing will be very slow.
But the Pasolini film with Maria Callas as Medea is not an action flick either.
Neither would appeal to your common youngster  :mrgreen:

Now, will anyone else pose/post a new challenge before I come up with another obscure one? ;)

Probably not.

Rereading my post and Zono's just after I thought of Pericles, and then Medea, then saw Blue's post and now don't know if I did guess Medea or caught a glimpse of Blue's post without being aware of it. I will never know.

Please don't wait on my account.  I really had no idea about the film, I just got lucky with a guess and a bit of deduction that could easily have been total BS.

I am unlikely to  find the time to transfer stills from watching a film. It's fiddly and I am finding I don't have enough time in any day ever now.

I have a candidate obscure enough (hopefully not too obscure) if you prefer.
