En ces temps lointains, les sauvages contrées du Nord de l'Europe étaient peuplées de héros et de monstres, et des hommes audacieux, taillés pour la lutte et les conquêtes, pouvaient encore se forger des destins d'exception. Le plus glorieux d'entre ces aventuriers fut le Viking Beowulf, qui surgit un beau jour pour sauver le vieux roi Hrothgar et ses sujets des assauts d'une féroce créature. Son nom devint vite légendaire à travers le royaume et, partout, l'on chanta sa bravoure face au maléfique Grendel. Beowulf ne devint pas seulement célèbre, mais riche. Et avec la richesse vinrent bientôt de dangereuses tentations et une inextinguible soif de pouvoir. Car le héros était aussi humain, trop humain, sans doute, et le guerrier plus avide, plus ambitieux et bien plus faillible qu'on ne l'imaginait....
La Terre a traversé de nombreuses crises et cataclysmes. Les hommes vivent dans la peur et dans l'obscurité car les ténèbres voilent désormais la lumière du soleil. Dans cet univers hostile, erre un homme maudit et solitaire, Beowulf, fruit des amours interdites d'une mortelle avec le diable. Pour vaincre le monstre qui est en lui, Beowulf doit combattre le mal. Son plus redoutable adversaire est une créature tapie dans les combles d'une forteresse. Invincible, d'une sauvagerie sans nom, elle tue quotidiennement puis disparait dès l'aube..
Film adaptation of the earliest known poem in the English language (written in the 8th century) which examines the ancient and heroic tradition from which the feudal system started to grow.

Since 1990, Benjamin Bagby has been performing the great epic Beowulf at major festivals and venues around the world. This remarkable performance is presented on DVD, beautifully filmed by the award-winning Swedish director Stellan Olsson. While Beowulf has come down to us through literature as a written poem, the epic's pre-literate medieval audience would have known it through the performance of a scop, a bardic storyteller, as Bagby presents himself here. In this one-man tour de force, Bagby accompanies himself on an Anglo-Saxon harp. Using the entire range of his voice, he delivers this gripping tale in Old English, as it could have been experienced more than one thousand years ago. This performance speaks to the lovers of Beowulf and the oral epic, early music enthusiasts, Tolkien fans, medievalists, and anyone searching for virtuoso storytelling or a glimpse into the fascinating beginnings of the English language..

This documentary goes beyond the text of the epic poem and examines the history behind its writing. With interviews and travels in Europe, BEOWULF AND THE ANGLO-SAXONS dives into the culture of the people who created the classic myth. This title also explores the warrior society of the ancient people. Miraculously preserved over the centuries, its artistic importance was unrecognized until an essay by J. R. R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) revealed its unity and multi-dimensional structure. Beowulf is now regarded as the most important manuscript the Anglo-Saxons have handed down to us, of immense linguistic as well as poetic value. This program sets out to trace the origins of the tribes that brought this epic into being, the war-like Norsemen from Sweden, Denmark and Germany who were to conquer and settle regions of a more clement and fertile island that would become known as England, named after the tribe of the Angles..
